H2B VISA PROGRAM DESCRIPTION  

Every year, employers throughout the U.S. hire young adults from around the world to live and work under the H-2B Visa Program, filling positions where there is a shortage of American workers. 
We are able to help those who have already found a position in the U.S. as well as those who would like to be matched with an employer. Participants on the program are legally able to work in the U.S. for a full summer or winter season, typically 6-10 months.  

About the Program 

H2B Program gives an opportunity to obtain temporary work visa for seasonal manual work in the USA. Offered positions do not need to correspond with one's work experience or field of study. Work permit is issued for minimum of 4 months up to 10 months with a possibility to extend it for the period of 3 years. 

Further Employment 

Work permit applies to specific position and employer. Any other work is illegal. At the end of the contract there is an opportunity to get a new contract with different employer and so extend validity of visa. If an applicant decides to leave his current employer, he/she must return to the home country. Otherwise his/her stay in the U.S. becomes illegal. 

Salary 

Generally, employees from foreign countries get same wages as the US citizens. In such case the salary is never less than minimum wage. Most of the employers pay starting from 7.00$/hour. The minimum wage in the US is 5.15$/hour. Positions where employees get tips are paid 2.20$/hour. 

Overtime 

Overtime pay is at least 1,5 times the employee's regular rate of pay. In some states, the employers pay for overtime not more than the employee's regular rate of pay. We will inform applicant about hourly rate of each position, it is mostly 7,00 $/hour and more. 

Payments 

The sallary is paid weekly or every two weeks. 

Accommodation 

Some employers provide accommodation for free, others provide some contribution. However, some employers do not provide accommodation and employeea have to find it on their own. We will provide you information on ways how to find accommodation in the U.S. The cost of accommodation is usually between 50$ - 85$ per week, depending on the location. In case the employer provides accommodation, cost for this accommodation will be deducted from employee's monthly salary. 

Food 

All other expenses including food have to be covered by an employee. Expenses for food are not very high in the U.S., it is approximately about 100$ - 200$ per a month. 

Health Insurance 

All our participants will receive a health insurance before traveling to the U.S. 

Visa 

The length of visa depends on the length of the contract with employer, but applicant may get visa for maximum of 10 months at first with a possibility of extending it up to 3 years.
Important: visa applies only to one employer and position. This means that the employee cannot have a different job and work for a different employer other than the one stated in the visa.
