USCIS has received enough petitions to meet the congressionally mandated H-2B cap for the second half of FY 2024. March 7, 2024, was the final receipt date for the new cap-subject H-2B worker petitions requesting an employment start date on or after April 1, 2024, and before October 1, 2024. The agency will reject new cap-subject H-2B petitions received after March 7, 2024, that request an employment start date on or after April 1, 2024, and before October 1, 2024.
