Is an H-2B Visa Right for My Employment-Based Immigration Needs?

H-2B visas are for workers coming to the United States to accept temporary or seasonal nonagricultural jobs. The temporary work may be for the one-time, seasonal, peak load or intermittent needs of the employer. These temporary visas are targeted both at skilled and unskilled workers, so people may apply if they have the correct background, skills or natural abilities needed by the employer.

Like with an H-1B visa, there is a quota. Only 66,000 H-2B visas allotted each year by Congress. Additionally, employers must meet several requirements imposed by the United States Immigration and Citizenship Services (USCIS) and the Department of Labor in order to be successful. So, it is important for employers and workers to start thinking about their employment-based immigration needs ahead of time. It is just as important to work through the process with a well-qualified lawyer so that everything is done correctly, efficiently and effectively.
