OFLC Provides List of Randomized H-2B Applications Submitted July 3–5 for Employers Seeking H-2B Workers Starting October 1, 2019
DOL posted the following announcement on its website:
July 15, 2019. OFLC Announces List of Randomized H-2B Applications Submitted July 3-5 for Employers Seeking H-2B Workers Starting October 1, 2019.
To keep the public informed regarding the submission and assignment of H-2B applications for review, the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) is announcing the assignment group(s) for 493 H-2B applications covering 12,098 worker positions with the start date of work of October 1, 2019 randomly selected for assignment.
In accordance with procedures outlined in the Department's process change announcement of February 26, 2019, OFLC successfully completed the randomization process on July 8 and assigned to NPC analysts all of the H-2B applications placed in Assignment Group A for issuance of Notices of Deficiency or Acceptance. Because the total number of H-2B applications contain an insufficient number of workers positions to reach the first semiannual visa allotment (i.e., 33,000), no other Assignment Groups were created.
Additionally, on July 8, 2019, OFLC provided written notice to each employer and, where applicable, the employer's authorized attorney or agent informing them about the Assignment Group for their application(s). To view the list of H-2B applications contained in Assignment Group A, click here.
