Attention winter-season hospitality employers! You are invited to join FRLA partner, Pabian Law, for their annual H-2B visa planning webinar, designed to help you prepare for what lies ahead with your winter 2026–2027 H-2B visa petitions. Attorney Keith Pabian will share practical guidance, timely insights, and strategic planning tips to help you navigate the H-2B visa process with confidence—particularly in light of increasing demand and the growing likelihood that the H-2B numerical cap will be reached for October 1st start dates. The webinar will also address the impact on the hospitality industry of recent terminations of humanitarian programs, including Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and what these changes may mean for your workforce planning. This webinar is essential for winter-season properties—those busier in the fall, winter, and spring than in the summer—who are considering H-2B visas as a staffing solution and want to ensure they are fully prepared for the upcoming season. With work beginning as early as mid-March, attending this webinar will help you hit the ground running and stay ahead of critical deadlines.
