Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Seasonal Worker Jobs
Know which visa applies to your role
H-2A covers agricultural work like harvesting and planting. H-2B covers non-agricultural seasonal roles such as landscaping, hospitality, and amusement parks. Applying through the wrong category will get your petition rejected before it's reviewed.
Confirm your country is on the eligible list
USCIS publishes an annual list of countries whose nationals are eligible for H-2A and H-2B visas. If your home country isn't on it, your employer must request a special waiver, which adds time and uncertainty to the process.
Understand the employer's role in sponsorship
For both H-2A and H-2B, the employer initiates everything. They file the labor certification with the Department of Labor and the I-129 petition with USCIS. You cannot self-petition for a seasonal worker visa under either category.
Check whether the job has a fixed end date
H-2B petitions require employers to prove the need is genuinely temporary, typically defined as ten months or less. Jobs without a clear end date, or roles that recur year-round, don't qualify and will likely be denied at the labor certification stage.
Ask about the H-2B cap before accepting an offer
H-2B has an annual cap of 66,000 visas split across two fiscal-year halves. Cap-exempt returning workers don't count against it, but first-time applicants do. Employers who haven't planned ahead may not secure a slot before the cap fills.
Browse open seasonal roles on Migrate Mate
Not all seasonal employers advertise sponsorship willingness upfront. Migrate Mate filters jobs by sponsorship status so you're only seeing roles where the employer has already indicated they'll support a visa petition, saving time on outreach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a degree to get sponsored for a seasonal worker visa?
No. H-2A visa and H-2B visas don't require a college degree. Eligibility is based on the nature of the work, not your education level. The employer must show the position is temporary and that qualified U.S. workers aren't available. Skills and prior experience in the role are more relevant than formal credentials.
How long can I stay in the U.S. on an H-2B seasonal worker visa?
H-2B visas are issued for the period of the job, up to one year, and can be extended in one-year increments up to a maximum of three consecutive years. After that, you must leave the U.S. for at least three uninterrupted months before being eligible for a new H-2B petition.
Can my employer renew my seasonal worker sponsorship the following year?
Yes. Many H-2B employers rehire the same workers each season. Returning workers who were counted against the cap in one of the three prior fiscal years are cap-exempt, which removes one of the biggest barriers to approval. This makes returning worker status a genuine advantage when negotiating continued sponsorship.
What are the approval rates for H-2B petitions?
USCIS approves the vast majority of H-2B petitions that clear the Department of Labor's labor certification stage. The more common bottleneck is the annual cap of 66,000 visas. Employers who file late in the fiscal year half may hit the cap before their petition is processed, regardless of whether it would have been approved on the merits.
How do I find seasonal jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Most general job boards don't filter by H-2A or H-2B sponsorship, so you'll spend significant time screening out roles that won't work. Migrate Mate is built specifically for workers who need visa sponsorship, so you can browse seasonal openings where employers have already indicated they support the petition process.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Seasonal Worker jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
