H2B Visa Update - June 2 - EMAIL PETITIONS TO THE DHS
JKJ Workforce Agency is urging carnivals, fairs, festivals, suppliers, and anyone who is affiliated with the outdoor amusement industry to email the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Labor and urge them to begin processing H2B Visa Applications immediately.
Public.Engagement@uscis.dhs.gov
If you have your workers, if you do not have your workers, I urge you to continue to tell the "Big Truth" in emails both DHS and DOL, tell your story (again and again and again) and stress that every single day that you do not have your workers is a day that you lose $______, that your local sponsors lose $_______ and that your US and Foreign workers both lose. Ask your suppliers, sponsors, fair boards, US Workers, friends and family to email and explain how this unnecessary delay has negatively affected all of you. Speak positively about your US Workforce, do not speak of any negatives (drug use, prefer benefits to work, etc.,) because that gets us nowhere. Simply speak about the unique nature of your particular seasonal business and why with nearly full employment US Workers prefer year round jobs that do not involve the special circumstances (seasonality, travel, etc) of your job opportunity.
Please email your requests to each of the following on a daily basis until the cap is raised:
