@Christhealtgod Wait what did I miss here?

[Amy Steenkamp @SteenkampAmy]

There is still a tremendous backlog at the Johannesburg consulate where visa statuses show "no status" for almost 6 weeks. How are employers getting their workers in time with a backlog as long as that🤔 this includes #H2B #H2A #J1

[Amy Steenkamp @SteenkampAmy]

Can we just sit back and appreciate the level of customer service and time management/effectiveness of the @Usconsulate in Capetown South Africa👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Visa has been issued within 2 weeks and im flying back to work this week🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

What's the word...are we going to #releasethevisas anytime soon? #h2b is essential to seasonal businesses and economies - local and national. #h2blawyer

[Amy Steenkamp @SteenkampAmy]

@guillertaverott Im not sure for which position , I'm an H2B worker from South Africa.

[Amy Steenkamp @SteenkampAmy]

Extra visa's for the winter season is being released but more travelbans stop workers from entering the state 🤔🧐 South African consulates aren't even open to process greencards nevermind H2B visa's... #africanban

[H2BLawyer @H2BLawyer]

For the first time, the Department of Homeland Security is offering additional visas for temporary workers for the winter season https://t.co/OiTbIbGfX9 via @WSJ #h2b #h2blawyer

@cynthia73055058 @DouglasConley13 @RepTroyNehls @RepColinAllred @RepMGriffith @RepWexton @HerreraBeutler @RepDerekKilmer @RepGrothman This is what I saw on H2B news today (facebook)

@cynthia73055058 @DouglasConley13 @RepTroyNehls @RepColinAllred @RepMGriffith @RepWexton @HerreraBeutler @RepDerekKilmer @RepGrothman LEGISLATIVE STRATEGY: We plan to finalize our rest of year legislative strategy at the SEA Spring Labor Forum next week.

Information from SEA-SEASONAL EMPLOYEMENT ALLIANCE

@cynthia73055058 @DouglasConley13 @RepTroyNehls @RepColinAllred @RepMGriffith @RepWexton @HerreraBeutler @RepDerekKilmer @RepGrothman Because the pool of returning workers is limited, we believe that the vast majority of employers who request their returning workers will receive them, (as long as 35,000+ visas are released).

[Amy Steenkamp @SteenkampAmy]

@cynthia73055058 @DouglasConley13 @RepTroyNehls @RepColinAllred @RepMGriffith @RepWexton @HerreraBeutler @RepDerekKilmer @RepGrothman we would expect about 28,000 of these to be allocated to returning workers and 12,000 to Northern Triangle workers.

4. Will lottery be nec? -Yes,it is most likely a lottery will be necessary for the returning worker allocation but will not be for the Northern Triangle allocation

[Amy Steenkamp @SteenkampAmy]

@cynthia73055058 @DouglasConley13 @RepTroyNehls @RepColinAllred @RepMGriffith @RepWexton @HerreraBeutler @RepDerekKilmer @RepGrothman 4. What will the allocation breakdown be?
-We expect it to be similar to previous releases with about 70% of the visas released allocated to returning workers and 30% allocated to Northern Triangle workers. If DHS releases 40,000 visas,

@cynthia73055058 @DouglasConley13 @RepTroyNehls @RepColinAllred @RepMGriffith @RepWexton @HerreraBeutler @RepDerekKilmer @RepGrothman We do not expect the majority of Group F and all of Group G applicants to have a labor certification by early April. Based on DOL's current processing times, we expect Group G assignees to have their labor certifications by mid-April.

[Amy Steenkamp @SteenkampAmy]

@cynthia73055058 @DouglasConley13 @RepTroyNehls @RepColinAllred @RepMGriffith @RepWexton @HerreraBeutler @RepDerekKilmer @RepGrothman 3.What if I do not have a labor certification when DHS starts accepting petitions?
-If DHS releases the visas in early April, then Group F and Group G assignees could be impacted.

@cynthia73055058 @DouglasConley13 @RepTroyNehls @RepColinAllred @RepMGriffith @RepWexton @HerreraBeutler @RepDerekKilmer @RepGrothman 2.Will DHS process the applications by Group assignment?
-No, DHS will not process by group assignment. All petitions submitted will have an equal chance of receiving visas. If a lottery is necessary, all petitions will be randomized and will be subject to the lottery.
