H-2B visa

H-2A visas are for temporary agricultural workers, H-2B visas are for temporary nonagricultural workers, and E-2 visas are for foreign nationals who make substantial investments in a U.S. business.

A 2025 Department of Transportation proposed rule would limit immigrant eligibility for commercial driver's licenses to holders of H-2A, H-2B, or E-2 visas, require states to verify applicants' immigration status in a federal database, make such licenses valid for up to one year unless the applicant’s visa expires sooner, not apply retroactively, and was estimated to reduce eligible noncitizen commercial-license holders from about 200,000 to about 10,000.
