H-2B Visa Lawyers for Employers

April 15, 2026

Get the Workers You Need – Legally, Efficiently, and On Time

The H-2B visa program enables U.S. employers to hire temporary non-agricultural workers when qualified domestic labor is not available. At The Immigration Group, we manage the process from start to finish – helping you move from labor certification to visa approval with clarity and speed. Whether you operate in hospitality, landscaping, construction, food processing or are expanding under an E-2 investment, we streamline hiring so you can stay focused on your business. We represent employers nationwide across all 50 states.

Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for the H-2B program, both the employer and the role must meet specific criteria:

  • The job must be temporary (seasonal, peak-load, intermittent, or a one-time need) 
  • There must be a demonstrated shortage of available U.S. workers 
  • The position must be non-agricultural 
  • The worker must come from a country designated as eligible 

Our H-2B Services
We provide comprehensive support at every stage of the process:

  • Evaluating eligibility and ensuring recruitment compliance 
  • Securing prevailing wage determinations and labor certification through the Department of Labor 
  • Preparing and filing Form I-129 with USCIS 
  • Coordinating consular processing and entry logistics 
  • Advising on extensions, amendments, and cap-related strategies 

Key Considerations

  • H-2B visas are subject to an annual cap, typically 66,000 visas per fiscal year 
  • Filing windows are strict and require advance preparation 
  • Certain returning workers may qualify for cap exemptions 
  • Initial approval is generally granted for up to 9 months, with limited extension options
