H-2B Information
In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult for U.S. employers to fill employment vacancies with domestic applicants. In certain situations, the H-2B Visa Program affords U.S. Employers the opportunity to fill non-agricultural employment vacancies with qualified foreign nationals on a temporary basis. Some common industries where the H-2B Visa has been particularly beneficial include landscaping, construction, processing facilities, and resort workers.
Although the H-2B Visa Program can prove very beneficial for U.S. employers, there are substantial regulatory requirements which must be satisfied to participate in this program. Below we have listed some of these regulatory requirements along with links to view frequently asked questions and obtain more information.
