USCIS ISSUES REMINDER OF H-2B VISAS AVAILABLE FOR NORTHERN TRIANGLE COUNTRIES

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a reminder that it continues to accept petitions for H-2B nonimmigrant workers for the additional 6,000 visas allotted for nationals of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador (collectively called the Northern Triangle).

The agency noted that if by July 8, 2021, fewer than 6,000 beneficiaries are requested by nationals of the Northern Triangle countries, USCIS will make the unused visas available to employers regardless of the beneficiary’s country of nationality, subject to the returning worker requirement.
