98 H-2B workers approved for Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting employers at New York worksites in fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026

There were 98 H-2B worker approvals for employers classified in Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting with worksites recorded in New York in fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. These approvals were for all 98 decided workers, resulting in a 100% approval rate. Six petitioners were named in these filings. These figures count workers represented in initial approval and denial decisions made by USCIS on H-2B petitions and are not counts of petitions, visa issuances or individual people. The worksite location comes from the worksite recorded on the Labor Department certification, not the employer's address, and the industry refers to the two-digit NAICS sector describing the employer, not the worker's occupation. The counts cover fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, a partial year. New York's approval rate for Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting employers was higher than the national same-sector rate of 99%.
