H-2B Visa Info Session (In-Person Registration)
2025-10-22 15:00 - 17:00 | Cape Cod Canal Chamber of Commerce, 223 Main Street, Buzzards Bay, United States
Join Tocci & Lee and Antioch Associates for our annual H-2B Visa Info Session on how to access the H-2B Visa process for temporary seasonal employees.

The H-2B visa program is part of the United States Citizen and Immigration Service (USCIS) otherwise known as the Department of Homeland Security. In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), employers who can prove a temporary, seasonal or periodic recurring need for full-time workers in particular job titles that cannot be filled with U.S. workers are certified to bring in Temporary Foreign Workers to fill those positions for a specific period of up to 9 full months. The processing and requirements are significantly different from J-1 visa workers who are students allowed to work on a temporary basis if their stay in the USA is tied to cultural exchange. To be certified, employers are required to provide payroll and tax documentation showing that their need for seasonal labor for a specific job title is periodic or traditionally tied to a season of the year by an event or pattern of a recurring nature. Seasonal need varies from one state or geographic area to another. Join us and get your questions answered.

Hiring J-1 Employees: Navigating the Process with Expert Insight
This workshop is specifically designed for businesses that rely on a robust summer workforce.
Presented by the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Dennis and Greater Hyannis Chambers of Commerce, we invite the Mid-Cape business community to join us on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM for a practical session on seasonal staffing. We’ll be meeting in the inviting atmosphere of Thirwood Place in Yarmouth to discuss how J-1 students—international college students who provide essential staffing during our prime season—can help solve your workforce needs.
This workshop is specifically designed for businesses that rely on a robust summer workforce, including hotels and resorts, restaurants and seasonal eateries, landscaping and property management firms, cleaning services, summer camps, water parks and mini-golf courses, retail boutiques, grocery stores, and marine or boat rental operations.
About This Workshop
Because a successful J-1 season requires early planning, we are using these quieter winter months to help you get ahead of the curve. This session is designed to ensure you are prepared with the necessary documentation and timing for the 2026 season before the spring rush begins.
Featured Speaker
Our guest speaker, Hollie Souza of The Emerald Resort (and former General Manager of Red Jacket Beach Resort), will share her first-hand experience managing the J-1 process. Hollie will provide a candid look at:
J-1 Best Practices: How to effectively integrate these valuable employees into your business.
Essential Timing: Understanding the critical winter deadlines for paperwork and documentation to ensure your team is ready for your peak months.
Real-World Insights: Honest details on the challenges and benefits of the program from a veteran hospitality leader’s perspective.
Join us for a productive morning of learning and community as we prepare for a successful year ahead!
While this event is free to attend and includes light refreshments, we do ask that you please register in advance to RSVP.
