H-2B (Professionals)

Immigration law in Denver, Colorado

H-2B visas are available to employers that seek individuals to come to the United States for temporary work that is seasonal, for a peak-load need, an intermittent occurrence, or a one-time need. The H-2B employer must file a labor certification to show that there are no US workers available and that the employment will not adversely affect wages and working conditions in the United States. Upon approval by the Department of Labor and the Department of Homeland Security, H-2B workers can be admitted for up to one year, dependent on the employer's demonstrated need.

H-2B visas are limited to 66,000 visas per year, half of which are available on October 1, and half of which are available on April 1. In some cases, returning workers who have previously held H-2B visas will not be counted against the H-2B cap, and will be designated as H-2R workers.
