As the nation’s economy continues to reopen safely, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking action to ensure that American businesses are equipped with the resources needed to recover successfully and contribute to the economic health of local communities.

The additional visas will be made available in the coming months via a temporary final rule in the Federal Register.
