Following the randomization procedures published in the Federal Register on March 4, 2019, OFLC completed the randomization process on January 4 and assigned to National Processing Center analysts all H-2B applications placed in Assignment Group A for issuance of Notices of Deficiency or Acceptance. Group A includes enough worker positions to reach the H-2B semi-annual visa allotment of 33,000.
