According to this article on SHRM, by Roy Maurer
“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced an additional 35,000 H-2B visas will be made available for U.S. employers seeking seasonal foreign guest workers this spring and summer.
The additional visas will be set aside for those starting work between April 1 and Sept. 30.
Of the 35,000 visas, 23,500 will be available to returning H-2B workers and 11,500 will be reserved for nationals of El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti and Honduras, regardless of whether they are H-2B returning workers. Returning workers are those who received an H-2B visa, or were otherwise granted H-2B status, during one of the last three fiscal years.”
