2,880 H-2B worker approvals for Accommodation and Food Services employers at Maine worksites in fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026

There were 2,880 H-2B worker approvals for employers classified in Accommodation and Food Services with worksites recorded in Maine in fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. In total, 2,904 decided workers were counted in USCIS approval and denial decisions for this sector and jurisdiction, with an approval rate of 99.2%. The approvals involved 175 petitioners. These counts represent workers included in USCIS initial approval and denial decisions on H-2B petitions and are not counts of petitions, visa issuances or individual people. Employers are classified by the two-digit NAICS sector listed on the corresponding Labor Department labor certification, which refers to the employer's industry and not the occupation of the workers. The jurisdiction is determined by the worksite location recorded on that certification, not by the employer's own location. These figures cover fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, a partial fiscal year.
