11 New Countries Designated as Eligible for H-2a and H-2b Nonimmigrant Visa Programs

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano this week designated 11 new countries as eligible to participate in the H-2A and H-2B nonimmigrant visa programs, which allow U.S. employers to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary or seasonal jobs for which U.S. workers are not available.

The 11 newly designated countries join 28 countries previously designated as eligible to participate in these programs.

They are:

  1. Croatia
  2. Ecuador
  3. Ethiopia
  4. Ireland
  5. Lithuania
  6. The Netherlands
  7. Nicaragua
  8. Norway
  9. Serbia
  10. Slovakia
  11. Uruguay

The initial lists of participating countries for the H-2A and H-2B programs—published in December 2008—expired on Jan. 17 and 18, respectively. After consulting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary Napolitano determined that the 11 newly designated countries meet the standards required for participation in the H-2A and H-2B programs. The new combined list was published Monday in the Federal Register.

On a case-by-case basis, DHS may allow a worker from a country not on the participating country list to be eligible for the H-2A or H-2B program if such participation is in the interest of the United States.
