There are a number of great visas that you can choose to utilize when you are a foreign national and need to come into the United States for a variety of reasons. One of the visas that you may want to consider is the H-2B employment visa. But what is this visa all about and why is it a good one for you to choose?

The H-2B working visa is considered a non-immigrant visa, which means that it is temporary and the individual plans to go back home soon, that will allow a foreign national to enter into the US temporarily and then engage in employment that is seasonal, peak load need, intermittent, or a one-time occurrence. There is no need for the individual to stay in the country for too long because the work will soon be done and they will be able to go back home. The employment offered should also not be agricultural. 

There are a few privileges that a foreign national will be able to enjoy when they get the H-2B visa for their needs. With this visa, the foreign national will be able to: 

# Come into the United States to do temporary work and should enjoy all of the benefits afforded to normal employees. 

# They will be able to bring their dependents with them for the duration of the work. 

# They will be able to come in and out of the United States with that visa

# They can change jobs as long as they show immigration the new job offer. 

While there are some privileges that the foreign national will be able to enjoy with this visa, there are also a few limitations that they need to be aware of when applying. Some of these include: 

# The job that they get with the visa needs to be temporary, which means it is one year or less. The needs of the employer can’t be continuous. 

# The employer will need to establish that the support from the foreign national is necessary to help them get it done

# The H-2B time counts whether you are abroad or in the United States

# Dependents of those with this visa will not be allowed to work in the United States during that time. 

If you have a job offer for a position that is for one year or less, then you need to make sure that you get the right H-2B employment visa to help you be prepared and in the country legally. The right immigration attorney will be able to answer your questions and will ensure that you can find the right visa and get the paperwork done the right way.
