Dallas immigration attorney consulting with a client about an H-2B seasonal worker visa

H-2B Visa Lawyer in Dallas

The H-2B visa allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers for temporary, non-agricultural jobs to meet seasonal, peak-load, intermittent, or one-time labor needs.

Who Is the H-2B Visa For?

→ Employers with a temporary, non-agricultural staffing need that cannot be met by the available U.S. workforce
→ Workers willing to fill seasonal or project-based roles such as hospitality, landscaping, or construction
→ Employers able to demonstrate the need is truly temporary under DOL regulations

Who Qualifies

The employer must obtain a temporary labor certification from the Department of Labor showing that qualified U.S. workers are not available and that hiring H-2B workers will not adversely affect wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. The program is subject to an annual numerical cap.

How to Apply

Employers first file Form ETA-9142B with the DOL for labor certification, then Form I-129 with USCIS once certification is approved.
