H-2B Seasonal Pathways

The Three Processing Pathways

1. Out-of-Country Processing

This pathway is for candidates who are currently outside the United States. We match you with a US employer, handle your Department of Labor application, and guide you through your local US Embassy or Consulate interview to obtain your seasonal entry visa.

2. In-Country Transfers

This track is for workers who are already inside the United States on an active H-2B visa. If your current seasonal contract is ending, we can legally transfer your status to a new sponsoring employer so you can continue working without leaving the country.

3. Returning Workers

This pathway is for individuals who have completed an H-2B contract in previous years and returned home on time. Because of your clean immigration track record, you often qualify for federal cap exemptions, making your application process much faster.

Program Eligibility & Duration

• Educational Requirements: No formal high school or university degree is required.

• Language Skills: Basic operational English to understand safety instructions and perform daily work duties.
