H-2B temporary work

H-2B: temporary work in the United States

Unlike cultural exchange programs, H-2B is a work visa: temporary non-agricultural jobs with a certified employer and a regulated hourly wage.

H-2B temporary work — participantes de LANGEX

H-2B exists because some U.S. sectors have seasonal peaks they cannot fill locally. The employer must prove to the Department of Labor that it looked for local workers first.

For Ecuadorian applicants the upside is clear: no university enrollment required, and the hourly wage is the prevailing wage for that job in that area.

  • No university requirement

    Unlike Work and Travel, H-2B is open to workers not enrolled in higher education.

  • Local market wage

    The employer must pay the certified prevailing wage for that role and location.

  • Contract before you travel

    You know the employer, duties, wage and dates before starting the consular process.

  • Repeat seasons

    Employers often rehire staff who performed well the previous season.

Frequently asked questions

Does H-2B lead to residency?
No. It is strictly temporary, tied to one employer and one period. You must return when the contract ends.
Why can't you give me an exact travel date?
Because H-2B has an annual cap and timing depends on the U.S. government calendar. Anyone promising a guaranteed date is misleading you.
Which sectors have most quota?
Hospitality and resorts, landscaping, food processing, seasonal parks and light construction.
