Visas for temporary jobs. H-2A: seasonal agricultural work. H-2B: temporary non-agricultural work (landscaping, hospitality, etc.). Both require proving a U.S. worker shortage.

U.S. employers with temporary/seasonal agricultural jobs who show:

• Temporary need.
• Not enough U.S. workers.
• No adverse effect on U.S. workers.
• Compliance with DOL rules (recruitment, wages, housing).

For temporary non-agricultural jobs. Similar rules apply: temporary need, no U.S. workers, no adverse effect. The main hurdle is the annual cap (66,000/year, split). Demand is high, often requiring a lottery. Timely filing is key.
