H-2B for concrete
Concrete placement and finishing can follow a seasonal project schedule. The case needs to explain the employer’s temporary staffing need, even when construction itself is ongoing.
Start with your business’s needs
Records that help
Bring your project pipeline, contract dates, historical headcount, and the expected period for additional finishing or labor crews.
Prepare for your consultationDetails to review together
Define finisher and laborer duties accurately. Multiple sites, travel between jobs, and changes in project dates should be reviewed before filing.
Your industry does not determine eligibility. We review the temporary need, job requirements, records, and timing before proposing a scope of work.
Turn your season into a documented plan.
A concrete business has several scheduled pours during a temporary project peak. Prepare a work calendar by site, then distinguish experienced finishing from material handling and other labor. The proposed headcount should reflect the duties and overlap of those jobs, not simply the total value of the contracts.
Can finishers and laborers be grouped under one title?
The description must match the work people will actually perform. Finishers and general construction laborers can involve different occupational classifications. Identify the duties and work areas before requesting the wage determination.

Your agent of record. Your business stays in control.
Connecting Labor USA is a consulting firm, not a law firm. We coordinate filings and the case calendar. You remain the employer and sign as the petitioner. Matters needing an attorney are handled by counsel under a separate engagement.

What should I have ready for the first call?
Your target start and end dates, approximate crew size, job roles, and worksite locations are a useful starting point. We’ll explain which business records are needed if you move forward.
Can you guarantee visas or a crew by my start date?
No. Visa availability, agency decisions, and consular processing can affect the outcome and timing. We help organize your case and explain these uncertainties before you commit.
What will I pay, and when?
$1,000 per visa, with a $3,500 minimum for crews of one to 3 workers. The estimate covers the service only; your engagement defines the final scope and billing basis. A $3,000 retainer is due at engagement and credited toward the total. The remaining service fee is due at DOL certification.
Can you help if my season is approaching?
Share your date of need and any existing wage determination or case documents. We’ll review the stage you’re at and discuss whether there is a workable path for your circumstances.
