How many times can a worker come back to the U.S. on H-2B program?
There is no limit on the number of times a worker can come to the U.S. on an H-2B visa. Additionally, for FY 2007 “returning workers,” means workers who were counted against the H-2B annual numerical limit of 66,000 during any one of the three fiscal years preceding the fiscal year of the requested start date. This means that for a petition with a work start date after October 1, 2006 (FY 2007), the worker must have been previously approved for an H-2B work start date between October 1, 2003 and September 30, 2006.
