For businesses that rely on temporary workers, a shortage in labor can lead to decreased revenue, potentially leading to downsizing or even closure. A H-2 visa program may help your business avoid a shortage by allowing you to employ foreign workers.
The H-2A and H-2B visa programs permit U.S. businesses to hire foreign nationals for temporary jobs. Though the programs are often used in industries like farming, hospitality and landscaping that have cyclical or seasonal peak seasons, they can also help businesses in other sectors and industries that have intermittent or even one-time labor-need peaks.
