Businesses struggling to fill seasonal and temporary positions can file applications to hire guest workers from foreign countries under the H-2A or H-2B visa programs, particularly for businesses in search of agricultural workers. The H-2B nonimmigrant program permits employers to hire foreign workers to come to the U.S. and perform temporary nonagricultural work, which may be (1) one-time, (2) seasonal, (3) peak load or (4) intermittent need.
