SNOW REMOVAL

Work description

This letter is submitted to support the labor certification application and I-129 petition of MLI Investments LLC on behalf of multiple 53 aliens. Our company is engaged in the Snow Removal business in the Tippecanoe County, Indiana area. Our services include Snow Removal. The dates during which most of our business activity occur, and during which we have the most need for temporary Seasonal workers, is October 24, 2026, to March 31st, 2027. Our company has a Seasonal need for people with these skills because our busiest seasons are traditionally tied to the holiday season from approximately October 24th to March 31st, during which time we need to substantially supplement the number of workers for our labor force for these positions. Our Seasonal Snow removal workers are needed during the holiday seasons and into the Spring and do not become a part of our permanent labor force. We need our workers on October 24th, we feel certain that our sudden and substantial need for Seasonal workers, as described above, clearly qualified us as a Seasonal H-2B business. Our company has tried to recruit U.S. workers to fill these positions without success. We have found the local labor market to be completely inadequate and unable to meet our needs for these Seasonal workers during our busiest seasons. Most of our work is done on a year-to-year basis, and the number of temporary workers can only be estimated about a year or so in advance. Based on present business, we do have a Seasonal need for the 53 H-2B workers we are asking for in 2026/2027, but cannot anticipate, at this time, that we will need H-2B workers in 2027 due to fluctuations in the economy. We are submitting additional supporting documentation in accordance with the September 1, 2016, Department of Labor announcement that additional information may not be required in such cases. We are not using a recruiter to help us recruit H2B workers this year. These foreign H2B workers whom we desire to hire will possess the requisite abilities for this position. Our company has never hired people for these positions with less ability than these foreign H2B workers possess. Therefore, our company wishes to employ them for a temporary period as landscape laborers. This period will be required for them to complete the Seasonal job responsibilities required of them. After this assignment, they will return to their country of origin to continue their present occupation. If any reason any of these workers need to return to their country of origin before March 31st, 2027, our company will pay the costs of their transportation and subsistence to return to their country of origin.
