Visa Programs
H-2B Visa Program
The H-2B visa program is the primary pathway for foreign nationals to work seasonal, non-agricultural jobs in the United States. The H-2B visa allows US employers to bring foreign workers for temporary, seasonal, non-agricultural positions. We've been placing H-2B workers for over 18 years.

What is the H-2B Visa?
The H-2B nonimmigrant visa allows US employers to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary non-agricultural jobs. It is designed for seasonal, intermittent, peak-load, or one-time occurrence needs.
Common industries include: hotels and resorts, housekeeping, food and beverage, landscaping, amusement parks, ski resorts, and more.
H-2B visas are available to nationals of countries designated by the Department of Homeland Security. The program operates on an annual numerical cap, making early planning essential.

H-2B Program Overview
What is the H-2B Program?
The H-2B program allows US employers to temporarily hire foreign workers for non-agricultural seasonal, intermittent, peak-load, or one-time occurrence jobs. It is administered by the Department of Labor (DOL) and the Department of Homeland Security (USCIS).
H-2B workers come from DHS-designated countries including Jamaica, Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, South Africa, the Philippines, and others. Workers apply through authorized H-2B recruitment agencies — like JTP Agency — at no cost to the worker.
Common H-2B job categories include: hotel & resort housekeeping, food & beverage, landscaping, groundskeeping, amusement parks, ski resorts, and seafood processing.
Out of Country H-2B
H-2B Out of Country Jobs
“Out of country” H-2B refers to workers who apply for and receive their H-2B visa from their home country before traveling to the United States to begin work. This is the standard H-2B pathway.
JTP Agency recruits out of country H-2B workers from multiple countries including Jamaica, Mexico, El Salvador, South Africa, and the Philippines. We manage the full process from job matching to visa issuance to travel coordination.
