Up to 66,000 H-2B visas are issued every year. The annual quota has not yet been exceeded and prospects are good that H-2B visas will remain easily available in the future.

Eligibility Requirements: You qualify for an H-2B visa if you are coming to the United States to accept a temporary or seasonal non-agricultural job from an U.S. employer. If you have the correct background, skills or natural abilities needed by the employer, you may apply. H-2B visas are aimed at skilled and unskilled workers.
