IMMIGRATION NEWS BITES FROM J. JOSEPH COHEN

June 5, 2021– There continues to be shortages for U.S. workers in a number of industries.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is pushing for immigration reform to boost American business with qualified foreign workers.  The Chamber states that “[c]ommonsense immigration reform would boost economic growth, create jobs, and spur innovation and entrepreneurship.” https://www.uschamber.com/immigration  A recent example of the need for workers is demonstrated with  the immediate filling of additional visas for temporary workers who are required to leave the U.S. at the end of their employment.  The H visas are typically used for labor that is needed on a temporary basis often found in agriculture as well as other industries such as landscaping, forestry, and seasonal resort workers. For nonagricultural labor, the cap is set at  33,000 workers for each half of the fiscal year.  The Biden administration recently raised that cap  for an additional 22,000 workers during the current period. Except for 6,000 slots dedicated to certain countries, the other 16,000 slots were filled within days by petitions from around the world. https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/h-2b-temporary-non-agricultural-workers
