USCIS Issues Clarification Regarding H-2B Petitions
September 1, 2009 – 6:57 am
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have issued a clarification regarding H-2B petitions filed by certain associations on behalf of their members. The purpose of this clarification is to inform public about filing requirements so that unnecessary denials of individual petitions that may be otherwise approvable can be avoided. USCIS advises that association member-employers must file a petition for H-2B classification directly and separately (listing themselves as the petitioner) with USCIS, rather than through a “master” petition filed by an association (listing the association as the petitioner) on behalf of several of its members. Petitions filed by associations that fail to meet the petitioner requirement for H-2B classification will be denied.
