The Federation of Employers and Workers of America (FEWA) and the H-2B Workforce Coalition continue to advocate for the release of H-2B supplemental visas for 2026.
We are asking FEWA members and others to communicate with your elected officials to pressure the Department of Homeland Security to release the maximum number of supplemental visas (64,719), and to ensure these H-2B visas are released sooner than later.
Here’s what you can do to help:
- Call Your RepresentativeYou can reach your Representative through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-225-3121. Once connected to your Representative’s office, ask to speak to the staff person who handles immigration issues. Ask that the Representative call the Secretary of Homeland Security and the White House to stress the need for the immediate release of all 64,719 authorized supplemental H-2B visas.
- Call Your Two Senators– Reach your Senators through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-225-3121. Once connected to your Senator’s office, ask to speak to the staff who handles immigration issues. Ask that Senator to call the Secretary of Homeland Security and the White House to stress the need for the immediate release of all 64,719 authorized supplemental H-2B visas.
- Email your Representative and two Senators. This link, provided by the National Association of Landscape Professionals, will automatically generate an email to your elected officials with information and instructions on how they can add their names to the letters. It only takes a few minutes to take this simple action.
