2008 Final Rules In December 2008, USCIS published final rules for both the H-2A and H-2B classifications that became effective in January 2009. Highlights of the final rules: - Allow both H-2A and H-2B petitions to be filed for unnamed workers. - Reduce period of time for aliens to re-enter the U.S. from 6 to 3 months. - Require an approved TLC for both H-2A and H-2B classifications. - For H-2B petitions, the starting date on the I-129 petition must be the same as the starting date on the TLC. - Prohibit employers from charging H-2A and H-2B workers job placement fees. - Create an "Eligible Countries List” for the H-2A and H-2B classifications. - Require "Employment-Related Notification" to USCIS.
