How the H-2B visa works

H-2B covers temporary non-agricultural workers, such as hospitality, landscaping, and other seasonal roles. The employer files a temporary labor certification with the Department of Labor and then a petition with USCIS, subject to an annual cap. Positions are seasonal and employer-specific, so check the dates and whether the role is expected to recur.

Top H-2B Cities: Frequently Asked Questions

Which U.S. cities have the most H-2B jobs?

Naples leads, with 126 live H-2B jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Big Sky (103) and San Antonio (77). Across the 10 metros on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 723 live H-2B jobs, updated daily.

Who qualifies for H-2B sponsorship?

H-2B eligibility requires a valid job offer from a U.S. employer who has obtained a temporary labor certification from the Department of Labor and an approved I-129 petition from USCIS. The role must be temporary or seasonal, last-resort in nature with no qualified U.S. workers available, and the position must meet prevailing wage requirements. Nationals from countries the Secretary of Homeland Security designates as eligible may apply.

Can my spouse or family work on H-2B?

No. H-4 dependents of an H-2 worker can accompany them but are not authorized to work.

How does H-2B compare to H-1B?

Unlike H-1B, H-2B has no lottery, so selection is not a barrier. The trade-off is eligibility: H-1B is open to any specialty occupation worldwide, while H-2B is limited to specific nationalities or roles. If you qualify for H-2B, it is often the faster and more predictable route; if you do not, H-1B may be the only option.

How much does H-2B sponsorship cost?

The employer files a temporary labor certification with the Department of Labor and a petition with USCIS, and generally pays those filing costs; workers pay the visa application fee at a U.S. consulate. Employers may not pass certain recruitment fees on to workers, so confirm what you are responsible for before you accept an offer.

How do I find a H-2B job in these cities?

To find an H-2B job in a high-demand metro, search Migrate Mate, which lists employers with verified H-2B hiring history by city and role type. Hospitality, landscaping, and resort operations are common categories. Once you identify a role, the employer handles the Department of Labor labor certification and files an I-129 petition with USCIS on your behalf before you can apply for the visa at a U.S. consulate.
