There were 337 H-2B worker approvals for employers classified in Accommodation and Food Services with worksites recorded in California in fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. All 337 workers counted in USCIS approval and denial decisions were approved, resulting in an approval rate of 100%. The petitioner count covers 18 named petitioners. These figures represent workers in USCIS initial approval and denial decisions on H-2B petitions, not counts of petitions or visas or individual people. The location is determined by the worksite recorded on the related Labor Department labor certification, not by where an employer is based. The industry represents the employer’s sector on that certification and describes the employer's industry, not the workers' occupation. The data cover fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, which is a partial year.
