USCIS Reaches H-2B Cap for Second Half of FY 2025 and Filing Dates Now Available for Supplemental Visas

USCIS received enough petitions to meet the H-2B statutory cap for the second half of fiscal year 2025. The filing dates for supplemental H-2B visas for the remainder of FY 2025 are now available.

What this means

  • This sets or reports a date. Missing a filing window generally cannot be undone, so the date is the operative fact. (classification: deadline)
  • The document names H-2B temporary non-agricultural. It may identify others — read the original to be sure. (impact.stated (unspecified))

Derived from this event’s own recorded fields — not written by a model, and not an interpretation of anyone’s case.

Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.

  • A USCIS announcement describes the agency's own action. Legal effect, and the detail of how it applies, usually arrives separately in the Federal Register or the USCIS Policy Manual.

Methodology & sources
This record was built from the linked government document by explicit, published rules per source — never by a language model, and never by how much attention an item might attract. Where the document states who is affected, it is quoted; where ImmigrationClock inferred something, it is labelled as an inference. The source was last checked on Aug 2, 2026. Nothing here is legal advice about anyone’s case. Read the full methodology →
