Help preserve the H2B Visa for seasonal workers!
Contact our local officials to correct the unfair cap on visas.
H2B Visas are the mechanism used by many local businesses to legally employ immigrant labor. The number of visas being issued is shrinking, which hurts local businesses who depend on this seasonal labor source.
On January 1, 2018, the earliest date on which an employer seeking an employment start date of April 1 may file an H-2B application requesting temporary labor certification, The Federal Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) received approximately 4,500 applications covering more than 81,600 worker positions. The second half of the cap begins April 1, 2018 and Department of Homeland Security can only issue up to 33,000. We need to be sure our Congressional representatives understand the urgency of this matter.

Many small businesses overlook the importance of creating policies and procedures, having a compliant Handbook, knowing the laws of immigration, wage and hour, etc., until they are confronted with a situation that could have been avoided, and could end up in a court of law.
