Extra seasonal worker visas (H-2B) were released for 2026
H-2B visas are for temporary, non-farm seasonal jobs — think landscaping, hospitality or seafood processing. There is a yearly limit, and a one-time batch of extra visas was added above that limit for the 2026 season.
H-2B Seasonal Non-Agricultural Worker
Who this applies to & what you could do
H-2B Seasonal Non-Agricultural Worker
- Extra visas above the annual cap for 2026
- Part reserved for returning workers
- Part reserved for nationals of specific countries
- Employers must show serious harm without the workers
Ask your employer which group they are filing under and when that window opens. They fill quickly, and timing matters more than anything else here.
