H-2B Visa

An H-2B is a nonimmigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to work temporarily in the U.S. in non-agricultural fields such as hospitality, landscaping, and seasonal industries. Like the H-2A, this visa allows employers facing labor shortages to fill certain positions when there are no available American workers to do so. The positions can be seasonal, temporary, or a one-time occurrence. However, H-2B visas have a cap of 33,000 workers for the first half of each fiscal year and another cap of 33,000 for the second half. Workers can also only hold H-2B status for a maximum of three years.
