Turkey remains on the list of countries eligible for the H-2A and H-2B visa programs, according to USCIS. That matters for Turkish readers who are exploring temporary work options in the United States through employer-sponsored seasonal jobs.
The H-2A program is used for temporary agricultural work, while H-2B is used for certain nonagricultural seasonal jobs. For workers and employers, country eligibility is a key first step because it affects whether recruitment and visa processing can move forward under these programs.
For people in Türkiye considering a short-term path to the U.S., this update is a practical reminder to look closely at employer requirements, timing, and official filing rules. A country’s eligibility does not guarantee a job or visa, but it does mean the pathway remains open.
Applicants should rely on official USCIS and State Department guidance when reviewing H-2A or H-2B opportunities, especially if they are comparing different legal routes to the United States.
