DOL Releases ETA Form 9142-B-CAA for H-2B Filings
From the DOL website:
The Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) has published ETA Form 9142-B-CAA-2 and the accompanying instructions in support of the temporary rule jointly issued by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor, titled "Exercise of Time-Limited Authority to Increase the Fiscal Year 2018 Numerical Limitation for the H-2B Temporary Nonagricultural Worker Program." The temporary rule was published in the Federal Register on May 31, 2018, with an immediate effective date. The Secretary of Homeland Security has decided, after consultation with DOL, to increase the H-2B cap for FY 2018 by up to 15,000 additional visas for American businesses that are likely to suffer irreparable harm (that is, permanent and severe financial loss) without the ability to employ all of the H-2B workers requested on their respective petitions before the end of FY 2018. This attestation must be submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services along with Form I-129, in support of an H-2B application subject to the H-2B cap before the end of Fiscal Year 2018. The attestation is also available on the Forms and Instructions section of the OFLC website found at: https://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/form.cfm
