63 H-2B workers approved for Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction employers at Utah worksites in fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026

There were 63 H-2B worker approvals for employers classified in Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction with worksites recorded in Utah in fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. USCIS approved all 63 decided workers for these employers, resulting in an approval rate of 100%. The approvals involved 4 petitioners. These figures count workers represented in USCIS initial approval and denial decisions on H-2B petitions; they are not counts of petitions, visa issuances or individual people. The location is determined by the worksite recorded on the linked Labor Department labor certification, not by an employer’s address. Employers are classified using the two-digit NAICS sector on the certification, which describes the employer’s industry, not the workers’ occupation. The numbers cover fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, which is a partial year.
