RECRUITING SERVICES

This website is designed for use by professional and nonprofessional seasonal workers who are interested and plan to seek employment in the United States.

We provide a facility to submit resumes which starts the process of determining employment eligibility and validating experience in the numerous disciplines required by employers.

Applicants can upload or attach their resumes to an
e-mail message for review and consideration.  Applications will be managed with their deserved privacy.  All resumes will be reviewed and appropriate feedback will be provided to the applicants.

Positions available are provided by sponsoring U.S. companies who have approved labor certifications for H1B and H2B Seasonal Work.

Because we are not a large company, we can focus on individual applicants as well as groups of applicants.  Our working knowledge of financial institutions, technology, manufacturing, hotel and restaurant management, along with many other service-sector environments, gives us the professional edge over others.

The H-2B nonagricultural temporary worker program allows U.S. employers to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary nonagricultural jobs. A U.S. employer must file a Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, on a prospective worker’s behalf.

To qualify for H-2B nonimmigrant classification:

• The employer must establish that its need for the prospective worker’s services or labor is temporary, regardless of whether the underlying job can be described as permanent or temporary. The employer’s need is considered temporary if it is a one-time occurrence, a seasonal need, a peak-load need, or an intermittent need;
• The employer must demonstrate that there are not sufficient U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available to do the temporary work;
• The employer must show that the employment of H-2B workers will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers; and
• Generally, a single, valid temporary labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), or, in the case where the workers will be employed on Guam, from the Governor of Guam, must be submitted with the H-2B petition. (Exception: an employer is not required to submit a temporary labor certification with its petition if it is requesting H-2B employment in a position for which the DOL does not require the filing of a temporary labor certification application)
  

Period of Stay

Generally, USCIS may grant H-2B classification for the period of time authorized on the temporary labor certification (usually authorized for no longer than one (1) year).   H-2B classification may be extended for qualifying employment in increments of up to one (1) year. The maximum period of stay in H-2B classification is three (3) years.

An individual who has held H-2B nonimmigrant status for a total of three (3) years is required to depart and remain outside the United States for an uninterrupted period of three (3) months before seeking readmission as an H-2B nonimmigrant. 

H-2B Program Process

• Step 1: Employer Submits Temporary Labor Certification Application to the Department of Labor.  Prior to requesting H-2B classification from USCIS, the employer must apply for and receive a temporary labor certification for H-2B workers with the U.S. Department of Labor.
• Step 2: Employer Submits Form I-129 to USCIS.  After receiving a temporary labor certification for H-2B employment from either the U.S. Department of Labor or Guam Department of Labor (if applicable), the employer should file a Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, with USCIS requesting H-2B workers. The approved temporary labor certification must be submitted with the Form I-129. 
• Step 3: Prospective Workers Outside the United States Apply for Visa and/or Admission.  After an employer’s Form I-129 is approved by USCIS, prospective H-2B workers who are outside the United States may apply with the U.S. Department of State at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad for an H-2B visa (if a visa is required) and, regardless of whether a visa is required, apply to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for admission to the United States in H-2B classification.
