H-2B seasonal workers: plan early, plan honestly

H-2B covers seasonal, non-agricultural work under an approved petition. It is subject to a statutory cap, and filing windows open months before the season.

The honest version

  • H-2B work must be seasonal and runs under an approved petition.
  • There is a statutory cap, and filing windows open months ahead of the season.
  • Nobody can guarantee a visa, an approval or an arrival date. We will not.
  • Workers never pay recruiting or hiring fees.
  • Workers can only come from countries on the current eligible-countries list, which we check before any recruiting starts.

For current cap status and filing windows, see the H-2B cap and deadline tracker, which shows when each figure was last verified.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Start early

    We plan roles, headcount and dates with you well ahead of the filing windows.

  2. Step 2: Prepare the petition

    We help you prepare and coordinate the steps with your advisers.

  3. Step 3: Arrival and support

    Housing, transport and a local contact once workers arrive.
