Steps to Success with Your H2B
Visa Application

Successfully applying for an H2B Visa involves understanding and following a series of steps carefully:

• Identify the Need: Employers must first identify their need for temporary foreign labor that cannot be filled locally.
• Labor Certification: Obtaining a Temporary Labor Certification from the Department of Labor is crucial, demonstrating the lack of available, willing, and qualified U.S. workers.
• File the Petition: Employers then file Form I-129 with USCIS for the specific workers they wish to employ.
• Apply for the Visa: Once the petition is approved, the foreign workers can apply for their H2B Visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

This structured approach ensures that both employers and employees are well-prepared for the application process, increasing the likelihood of a successful visa grant.
