@ToastTab it’s been 2+ hours of system disruption- can we get an ETA for a fix? After this happened last May you promised better communication- we aren’t experiencing that now!
We are honored that Senior Counselor to @SecMayorkas Kamal Essaheb has joined us for Northern Central America Showcase event. Kamal’s tremendous support of the program and the NCA initiative is the reason many of our members will be receiving their H-2B workers on time this yr.
Wow! It's so great someone cares about this! "The Asylum Seeker Work Authorization Act of 2023 would allow individuals seeking asylum at ports of entry to be eligible for work authorizations starting 30 days after they apply for asylum." https://t.co/9VdMBhPEE4
The Department of Homeland Security is committed to ensuring that American businesses can meet their seasonal labor needs.

Since everything is already going so well in "prevailing wage determination" land, DOL is deciding to drop a rule that will add thousands of new cases to the system.
The new H-2A rule will effectively import the horrendous PERM prevailing wage analysis that currently takes DOL 7 months to do, but DOL plans to do these wage determinations in a month. This is going to crush DOL's processing times https://t.co/YrfZZTkQhU
2) Currently, farmers only need to file one certification for the entire farm even if they have some workers working in multiple different overlapping occupations. Now they will need to file multiple applications for each occupation for which they want to hire
1) Currently, H-2A wages require almost zero effort because there is no analysis required of whether the occupational description has overlap with some other occupation. Now, DOL wants to inquire into the job duties for hundreds of thousands of H-2A jobs.
Looks like a returning worker lottery. How does the government expect small businesses to function with this uncertainty and delay???? Support HR3897!!! #h2b#hr3897#ihcpllc#immigrationattorney
