An H2B visa is a temporary work visa for foreign workers with a job offer for seasonal, non-agricultural work in the US. The H2B visa program is open to nationals of countries designated by the United States Secretary of Homeland Security and is capped at 66, 000 visas per year (from October 1 – September 30).
Those with a temporary job offer in an agricultural industry may be eligible for an H2A visa which is exempt from this cap.
