Is This Free Visa Sponsorship?
Yes, under the H-2B rules. The H-2B regulations (20 CFR 655.20) require the employer to pay or reimburse visa and visa processing fees in the first workweek, and they ban recruitment fees charged to workers. Inbound travel and daily subsistence costs are reimbursed after you complete half of the season, and return travel is paid if you finish the contract or are dismissed early.
The StateTally summary of the DOL data marks this order as offering lodging. Ask the employer for written housing details and any rent deductions before you accept an offer.
How to Apply
- Step 1: Read the official listing and job order: https://seasonaljobs.dol.gov/jobs/H-400-26280-285559
- Step 2: Email the employer using the DOL contact: chad@shanesseafood.com
- Step 3: Or call +1 318 218 5993
- Step 4: Send a short English email with your name, country, phone or WhatsApp number, kitchen or seafood experience (especially crawfish or boil houses), food hygiene certificates if you have them, and confirm you can work from 1 January 2027 to 14 October 2027
Tips to Stand Out
- Lead with kitchen experience. Three months is required, so list restaurants, catering or seafood prep clearly.
- Mention heavy lifting and any boil-house or high-volume kitchen work.
- Attach a food hygiene certificate if you have one.
- Apply early. January starts mean employers often finish interviews by late autumn.
Scam Warning
Never pay an agent to "secure" this job or an H-2B visa. Recruitment fees are illegal under H-2B rules. Use only the email and phone number on the official DOL page.
