When Your Workforce Needs Extra Hands—Legally and On Time
The H-2B visa program allows U.S. employers to hire foreign nationals for temporary, non-agricultural work when there are not enough available U.S. workers.
From landscaping and hospitality to construction and seafood processing, this program helps companies meet seasonal or peak demand without risking noncompliance.
At Dinits Immigration Law, we guide employers through the entire H-2B process—from labor certification and recruitment to filing petitions and obtaining consular approvals.
We help you stay compliant, meet deadlines, and focus on running your business.
Call 516-208-2060 to begin your H-2B process today.
What Is the H-2B Program?
The H-2B visa provides lawful, short-term employment authorization for foreign nationals in non-agricultural seasonal jobs. Employers must demonstrate:
- A temporary or seasonal need (seasonal, peak-load, intermittent, or one-time occurrence).
- That no qualified U.S. workers are available for the positions.
- That hiring H-2B workers will not negatively affect U.S. wages or working conditions.
Duration: H-2B visas are typically valid for up to one year, with possible extensions in limited cases (maximum three years).
Call 516-208-2060 for an eligibility review.

The H-2B Advantage
Reliable Seasonal Staffing
Hire skilled or semi-skilled foreign workers when U.S. labor shortages persist.
Legal Compliance and Worker Protections
Stay compliant with DOL and USCIS rules while maintaining fair wages and working conditions.
Visa Cap Flexibility
Congress authorizes 66,000 H-2B visas per fiscal year, split between the first and second halves (Oct–Mar / Apr–Sept). Additional “cap relief” visas may be released during peak years.
Returning Worker Preference
Experienced H-2B workers often receive faster processing and reduced training time.
Visa Availability Update (October 2025):
The FY 2026 H-2B cap for the first half of the fiscal year has been reached. Additional returning worker visas are expected to be released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in late 2025.
Call 516-208-2060 to confirm cap status or prepare for next season’s filings.
