H-2B seasonal workers for employers
H-2B lets employers bring in seasonal non-agricultural workers under an approved petition. It takes planning: filing starts months before the season.
What to know before you start
- H-2B work is seasonal and runs under an approved petition.
- There is a statutory cap on visas, and filing windows open months ahead of the season.
- Nobody can guarantee a visa, a petition approval or an arrival date.
- Workers never pay fees to be recruited or hired.
For current cap status and filing windows, see the H-2B cap and deadline tracker. It shows the date each figure was last verified.

Common questions
How far ahead do we need to start?
Months ahead. Filing windows open well before the season starts, so the planning conversation should begin early. The cap tracker shows the current position.
Does Alto HR sponsor H-2B visas?
Visas are issued by the U.S. government, not by Alto HR or any employer. In the H-2B program, the employer of the seasonal workers files the temporary labor certification and the petition. Alto HR helps you plan the season, prepare and coordinate those steps with your advisers, and support workers when they arrive. No one can guarantee a visa, an approval or an arrival date.
Do H-2B workers pay any fees?
No. Workers never pay Alto HR a fee, and program rules prohibit charging H-2B workers recruitment fees.
Can you guarantee how many H-2B workers we will get?
No. H-2B visas are capped each year and every petition is decided by the U.S. government, so no one can promise numbers or dates. We plan with you honestly and keep you updated at each step.
