Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/ US Department of Home Security
announced the list of countries whose nationals are eligible to participate in
the H-2 visa programs in 2019.
Mongolia is among the eligible countries to receive H-2A and
H-2B visa of temporary worker program, which is effective between January 18,
2019 and January 18, 2020.
For 2019, Mozambique, Samoa and Paraguay were added to the list
of eligible countries, but Ethiopia, the Philippines and Dominican Republic are
no longer eligible.
For Mongolia, five Mongolians received H-2A which is
agricultural work visa and two citizens received H-2B non-agricultural work
visa in 2018. These visa recipients found themselves the companies in the
United States licensed to hire temporary workers and now they are working in
Missouri, Hawaii, California and Maryland.
Several private businesses and entities are
providing advice and counsel in Mongolia regarding visas for the U.S. H-2
Temporary Worker Program. None of these entities are affiliated with the
U.S. Embassy or the U.S. government. The U.S. Embassy does not contract,
endorse, or sanction any Mongolian entities, agencies, or brokers to serve as
“representatives” for U.S. visa purposes and cautions the public to remain alert
to potential fraud schemes, reports the US Embassy in Ulaanbaatar.
