What to Know About the H2B Visa Program Updates
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently announced plans to release an additional 64,714 H-2B visas for fiscal year 2023, representing the single largest expansion of the H-2B cap in recent history and nearly doubling the Congressionally mandated cap of 66,000 visas annually. Since that announcement, WHLA has been getting many inquiries on the program - what is the H2B Visa Program? How do I apply? How much does it cost (spoiler alert: it is expensive)?
This webinar (recorded November 1, 2022) with industry expert Keith Pabian from Pabian Law educated us on the basics of the H2B visa process and what to expect when considering H2B workers. |
