Understanding Eligibility for H2B
Visa Applications

Understanding the eligibility requirements for an H2B visa is crucial for both potential employees and employers. This visa is available to non-agricultural workers coming to the U.S. to fill temporary or seasonal positions for which there is a shortage of American workers.

• Determine if the job qualifies as temporary or seasonal
• Ensure the position cannot be filled by U.S. workers
• Confirm that the employment will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers
• Verify that a labor certification from the Department of Labor has been obtained

Meeting these requirements is essential for a successful application, and keeping informed about the specific criteria can significantly enhance the likelihood of visa approval.
