H-2B Visa Cap and Processing Delays–The H-2B Nonimmigrant Temporary Worker visa program enables the golf industry to fill crucial seasonal jobs when American workers are unable or unwilling to fill them during the high season. However, the program’s statutory cap of 66,000 visas per fiscal year is far too low to satisfy the staffing needs of seasonal employers. In addition, countless employers experience unnecessary 30 to 60-day delays in the processing of H2-B applications. Recognizing these issues, Congress took the important first step of authorizing the Department of Homeland Security to approve additional H-2B visas for FY18 – through the process is not yet over. Congressional Ask: Please urge the Department of Homeland Security to authorize the issuance of the maximum number of additional visas allowed by the FY18 Omnibus H2B cap relief language and urge the Department of Labor to efficiently process applications.
