What Makes the H-2B Visa Challenging?
-
Meeting Cap Limitations: With only 66,000 visas
available annually, securing a spot is competitive.
-
Proving Temporary Need: Employers must provide
detailed evidence of the job's temporary nature.
-
Complying with Recruitment Standards: Employers
must advertise locally and prove no qualified U.S. workers are
available.
-
Documenting Non-Immigrant Intent: Workers must
prove their intention to return to their home country after the
visa period.
