DEFINATION:
The H2B visa program allows non-agricultural businesses to obtain foreign labor to fill temporary or seasonal labor positions. Under the H-2B program, foreign workers are hired on a seasonal/special event basis and then return to their country of origin when the season/special event is over.
The H2B visa program is designed for US employers to bring foreign laborers to perform any nonagricultural, temporary service or labor. There is currently an annual limit of 66,000 visas for H2B workers nation-wide. Use of the H2B program has skyrocketed in the last few years as more businesses have become aware of the program. These visas are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and the limits may be reached...so it is important to get the process started as soon as possible.
