USCIS requires H-2 petitioners to notify USCIS when (1) the worker fails to report to work within 5 work days of the employment start date; (2) the labor or services for which H-2 workers were hired is completed more than 30 days early; or (3) the worker absconds from the worksite or is terminated prior to the completion of the labor or services for which he or she was hired. The notification requirement is necessary to ensure that alien workers maintain their nonimmigrant status and will help prevent H-2 workers from engaging in unauthorized employment. USCIS will deny or revoke (on notice) an H-2 petition if USCIS determines that the petitioner has collected, or entered into an agreement to collect a fee or compensation in connection with obtaining the H-2 employment, or that the petitioner knows or reasonably should know that the beneficiary has paid or agreed to pay any facilitator, recruiter, or similar employment service in connection with obtaining the H-2 employment. However, the petitioner who discovers, after the filing of the petition, that the alien worker paid or agreed to pay a facilitator, recruiter, or employment service the prohibited fees, can avoid denial or revocation by notifying USCIS within 2 work days of obtaining this knowledge.
