There are various job opportunities in non-specialized occupations that
arise throughout the U.S. If you wish to capitalize on one of these opportunities,
then there are a number of steps to complete, and you will need an H-2B
visa in order to collect a salary while you are in the country.
How to Apply for an H-2B Visa
The H-2B visa allows for temporary work in a non-specialized field, which
does not include agricultural work. These kinds of jobs can include:
- Hospitality workers
- Resorts and Theme parks
- Cruise ships
- Winter resorts
- Restaurants and bars
- Retail stores
Essentially, this temporary worker visa will qualify you for any non-specialty
job with a recurring or intermittent need, or when there is a peak-load
or one-time need. If the job typically requires a bachelor's degree
or higher education, then your prospective employer would need to file
for an H-1B visa. Once your employer has given you a job offer and you
have shown that you meet the minimum requirements for the job, the employer
must file the visa application and you will need to show that you intend
to return home after the job is complete.
Validity Period & Accommodations for Family Members
This visa will be issued with a validity period necessary to complete the
job for up to one year. Once the visa has expired, a new one will need
to be obtained in order for you to continue work in the temporary field.
If you have a family, and you are seeking temporary employment in the
United States for a prolonged period of time, the U.S. Government recognizes
the toll that this can take. It is important to know that if you are married,
and you have children under the age of 21, they may be eligible to come
to the U.S. with you on non-immigrant H-4 status, provided that they obtain
visas.
