What is an H-2B VISA?

What are the Employer’s Responsibilities?

A legal temporary H2B Visa is given to workers who can work in services, residential, construction, and hospitality. Restaurants, landscapers, house and hotel cleaning, house and business constructions, manufacturing, and most work-related to blue-collar work can obtain a H-2B visa. A great advantage for employers for this kind of visa is that the foreign employee works only with the business for which the visa is issued. So companies and employers know they will have reliable workers for about a year without a turnover, causing more stability and productivity. The employer will be able to hire the same worker year after year.
