One More Quick Update on H-2B Visas

From sealabor.com, the Seasonal Employment Alliance:


"VISA RELEASE UPDATE: At long last, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) received the rule and it is now posted on OIRA. You will be able to submit your petitions once the rule is published, which could be as early as Friday or, more likely, next Monday. 

In 2019, the rule was published on May 8th, which was the earliest publication date (for the second half). Hopefully this year we can beat this date!

Projected Timeline

May 6th- Rule published.
May 13th-16th- Petitions receipted (employers notified if they will be receiving their workers). USCIS has 15 calendar days to process receipted petitions filed with the additional $1500 premium processing fee.
May 14th- May 31st- Employers receive approvals. Consulate appointments cannot be scheduled without approval from USICS.
May 21st- June 21st- Worker appointments at consulates, visas issued, depending upon ability of individual consulates to handle the unnatural surge caused by the delay in releasing the rule.
May 28th- June 28th- Workers arrive in the United States, but could be as late as mid-July, depending upon actual ability of agencies and consulates to handle the surge."
