H-2Bs Still Available
As of 10/22/10, the USCIS has received 11,053 H-2B cap-subject petitions (of the 33,000 available for the first half of the fiscal year). The H-2B category allows employers to hire foreign workers to come temporarily to the U.S. to perform nonagricultural services or labor on a one-time, seasonal, peakload or intermittent basis. The employers using this category first need to test the labor market to ensure there are no U.S. workers who are available to perform these jobs.
Please contact our San Francisco Immigration Law Office if you need assistance with an H-2B petition.
