“This is a drop in the bucket. There is a very slim chance of any employer getting the workers they need.”

Partner L.J. D’Arrigo, who focuses on immigration law, tells the Albany Business Review that the recent increase in seasonal worker visas may not be enough for landscapers, horse trainers and restaurants in the Capital Region and other areas of New York.

D’Arrigo was recently interviewed for two stories about the seasonal cap – first when discussing that the H-2B visa cap was reached and again when it was announced that additional seasonal H-2B visas will be awarded.
