The H2B visa is one option available to employers of
foreign non-professionals. As with other types of
visas, the H2B may bring dependent family members to
the U.S. Also, it is possible, in some cases, for
employers to file blanket petitions, that is, one
petition for several individual employees.
First, this visa is only available for work that is
temporary in nature. There are four situations where
work is considered temporary in nature for H2B
purposes:
·
Recurring seasonal need;
·
Intermittent need;
·
Peak-load need; and
·
One
time occurrence.
Second, the employer must establish that there are
no unemployed U.S. workers willing or able to do the
work. This is established through the states’
employment agency using a labor certification
process.
If the prospective worker (beneficiary) is outside
of the country, he must apply for a visa. After the
USCIS has approved the I-129 and sent notice to the
consulate in the beneficiary’s country, the
beneficiary must file a visa application with the
consulate.
Returning H2B (H2R) Workers
The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for
Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami
Relief, 2005, P.L. 109-13, 119 Stat. 231, was signed
into law by the President on May 11, 2005. The Act
provides that if an applicant has been issued an H2B
visa based on an approved petition in any of the
previous three fiscal years, the applicant is not
counted against the current fiscal year's annual
limit. If you are a
