H-2B Visa
Navigate the H-2B Visa Process with Confidence
The H-2B Visa is a valuable solution for U.S. employers facing temporary labor shortages and for foreign workers seeking short-term employment in the U.S. Larhdel Law simplifies this complex process for employers and workers alike. Call us at 310 943 6352 for personalized assistance.
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.
