On July 12, 2022, OFLC will also publish the H-2B applications assigned to each Assignment Group on its website. OFLC will be providing written notification to employers (and, if applicable, the employer's authorized attorney or agent) with their H-2B Assignment Group.

Since the number of the H-2B applications received during the three-day filing window collectively requested fewer worker positions for certification than the number of visas available under the semi-annual visa allotment for the first half of Fiscal Year 2022, all H-2B applications filed within that time period that requested workers starting October 1, 2022, were randomly given a unique number in accordance with OFLC's randomization process and placed into the same group for assignment to analysts for review and processing. To keep the public informed regarding the submission and assignment of H-2B applications for review, the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) published the Assignment Group(s) for 1,360 H-2B applications covering 29,856 worker positions with a work start date of October 1, 2022.
