  • DOL temporary labor certification with required recruitment
  • Cap availability or supplemental/returning-worker eligibility

How We Help

  • DOL certification and recruitment management on tight statutory timelines

  • Cohort petitions, consular coordination, and compliance

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the returning worker rule?

Many supplemental allocations are reserved for workers with H-2B status in the prior three fiscal years β€” we document eligibility to access those numbers.

When should we file?

As early as regulations allow. Semi-annual caps fill fast; we build your timeline months before the season.
