Do you serve employers in Aurora, Illinois?
Yes. We provide H-2B consulting to employers nationwide, with an initial focus on Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana. The scope depends on your temporary need and work locations.
Which state agency is involved?
The workforce agency for Illinois is Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES). We confirm the job-order process and covered worksites before filing.
Is a wage on this page the wage I must pay?
Published figures are planning references. The determination issued for your case, the job terms, and applicable minimum wages determine the required wage.

Start several months ahead. The standard labor-application window is 75 to 90 days before the date of need, and wage preparation starts earlier. Agency decisions and consular appointments can change the schedule.
