Steps to Secure an H2B Visa:
A Comprehensive Guide

Securing an H2B visa involves a multi-step process that requires careful planning and coordination between the employer and the prospective employee. This guide outlines the essential steps:

• Determine Eligibility: Ensure the job qualifies as nonagricultural temporary work and there's a shortage of U.S. workers.
• Labor Certification: The employer must obtain a temporary labor certification from the Department of Labor.
• Petition Filing: Submit Form I-129 to USCIS, along with the labor certification and required documentation.
• Consulate Application: Upon approval, the worker applies for the H2B visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Adhering to these steps can significantly improve the likelihood of a successful H2B visa application, facilitating legal temporary work in the United States.
