How to Get Visa Sponsorship in Cleaning

Target commercial and institutional employers for H-2B sponsorship

Large commercial cleaning companies and facilities services firms like ABM Industries and Sodexo are more likely to have the resources and experience to sponsor H-2B visas. Smaller independent operations rarely navigate the process.

Understand the H-2B visa's temporary requirement

H-2B visas require the employer to demonstrate that the need is temporary - seasonal, peak-load, or intermittent. Cleaning roles tied to seasonal facilities, event venues, or resort properties fit this requirement more naturally than year-round positions.

Explore facilities management for stronger visa options

Facilities management roles that require a degree in facilities management, engineering, or a related field can qualify for H-1B visas. Building experience in cleaning operations and working toward a management role opens this path over time.

Know that EB-3 'other workers' offers a permanent option

For year-round cleaning positions, the EB-3 'other workers' green card category may apply, though wait times can stretch well beyond a decade depending on your country of birth. It requires employer sponsorship and a permanent, full-time job offer.

Build specialized skills to increase your value

Certifications in biohazard cleanup, cleanroom maintenance, or healthcare facility sanitation set you apart from general janitorial candidates. Specialized cleaning roles at hospitals, labs, or manufacturing facilities command higher wages and may attract employers willing to sponsor.

Work with employers who hire at scale

Hospitality groups, large property management companies, and institutional employers that hire cleaning staff in volume are more familiar with the H-2B process and its requirements. A company that sponsored last year is far more likely to sponsor again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What visa type is used for sponsored cleaning jobs?

Most sponsored cleaning positions use either H-2B temporary work visas for seasonal or peak-demand roles, or EB-3 "Other Workers" green card petitions for permanent positions. H-2B is more common for hotel and resort seasonal cleaning work, while EB-3 is used when the employer is hiring for a permanent, year-round position.

Do I need experience or qualifications for a cleaning job with visa sponsorship?

No formal education or certifications are typically required. Most employers look for physical fitness, reliability, and basic communication skills. Many provide on-the-job training as part of the arrangement. For EB-3 positions, the role must require less than two years of training or experience to fall under the "Other Workers" category.

How much do sponsored cleaning jobs pay in the U.S.?

Employers must pay at least the prevailing wage for the occupation and location, which is set by the Department of Labor. For cleaning and janitorial positions, this typically ranges from $13-$20+ per hour depending on the state and metro area. Some employers also include housing assistance, particularly for seasonal H-2B positions at hotels and resorts.

Can a cleaning job lead to a green card?

Yes, if the employer sponsors you through the EB-3 "Other Workers" pathway. This process leads directly to permanent residence, though it typically takes 3-5+ years. H-2B positions alone do not lead to a green card, but an employer could separately initiate EB-3 sponsorship for a worker they want to retain permanently.

What's the difference between H-2B and EB-3 for cleaning positions?

H-2B is temporary - you work for a defined period (up to a year, renewable up to 3 years total) and the employer must demonstrate a seasonal or short-term need. EB-3 leads to a green card and permanent residence, but takes significantly longer to process. The choice depends on whether the position is seasonal or permanent.
