Using H2B

[Nickrosis]

Who's using H2B? What agent did you work with and how did they arrange things?

America Work Visa doesn't charge the employer anything but requires a 10 worker minimum, which we could handle. The greater question, I'm wondering, is whether it's better to hire those 10 locally or not.

Finding people in the Milwaukee area, there are lots of people, but you can only keep them until the IRS and INS catch up with them, then they're gone. It seems that H2B could be key in developing a stable, legal workforce. Thoughts?

We're checking out Workforce Advantage. They charge $3500 for up to 10 employees.

Have you reached a decision yet? I have a friend who hires H2b every year. I think they have 4-6 workers. He said that it takes a couple of years to make them really productive though. And sometimes you can't get all of them back again.
