What Is The
H-2B Program
The H-2B visa program is a temporary non-immigrant visa program that allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers to fill temporary non-agricultural jobs. The H-2B visa program is for temporary employment, which means that the job offered must be for a specific period, typically one year or less. It is not intended for permanent or ongoing positions.
This program is specifically for non-agricultural jobs, such as housekeepers, cooks, dishwashers, servers, front desk clerk, hostess, construction, roofers, truck drivers, landscaping, and seasonal industries.
