H-2B employer preparation checklist
Prepare these details for your first conversation. This is a planning checklist, not a complete filing or legal eligibility checklist.
- 01
Season dates
Your first and last day of need, why the need is temporary, and whether similar work recurs each year.
- 02
Crew size and job duties
The number of workers, the work each role performs, expected hours, and any job requirements.
- 03
Work locations
Every proposed worksite address, including jobs across multiple cities or states.
- 04
Business and seasonal records
Identify available payroll, financial, contract, or workload records that support the temporary need. The team will specify which records it needs.
- 05
Hiring history
Your U.S. recruiting efforts, prior H-2B filings if any, and questions about applicants or returning workers.
- 06
Budget categories
Plan for service fees, government charges, wages, transportation, applicable reimbursements, and operating costs.
- 07
Employer contact
Choose the person who can gather records, review job details, and coordinate employer signatures.
- 08
Questions for the call
Ask about timing, included services, your responsibilities, non-refundable payments, and what happens if visas are unavailable.
Use the secure client portal for case records when requested. Do not send passports, identity records, or tax documents through a general marketing form.
