Applying for an H-2A Visa for Agricultural Workers

 

The H-2A Agricultural Worker Visa is a temporary nonimmigrant visa that allows citizens of other countries to work in U.S. agriculture on a seasonal or temporary basis. The H-2A visa is designed to help U.S. agricultural companies that cannot find local workers to harvest crops, work in the fields, or care for animals.

An H-2A visa can only be obtained at the initiative of an American employer. The employer must prove that there is a shortage of workers in the United States and guarantee proper working conditions. Workers from countries on the list approved by DHS can participate in the program.

 

Steps to Applying for an H-2A Visa: What We Do for You

 

The H-2A visa application process has many legal nuances, so professional support greatly simplifies and speeds up the process.

Compliance assessment and consulting

A lawyer checks whether the employer meets the requirements of the H-2A program. Analyzes the field of activity, seasonality of work, number of workers.

 

Filing an application with the US Department of Labor (DOL)

 

Form ETA-790 is drawn up and submitted, which indicates the job description, terms, living conditions, salary. The lawyer fills it out in accordance with the legislation.

  • Obtaining a certificate and preparing an I-129 petition
    After approval from the DOL, the lawyer prepares and submits Form I-129 to USCIS. This is the main immigration petition for attracting a foreign worker.
  • Preparing employees for an interview
    A DS-160 form is drawn up, documents are collected, employees undergo a medical examination. We advise on passing an interview at the US embassy.
  • Control at the stage of entry into the USA
    A lawyer accompanies the process of preparing documents upon entry into the USA, advises on working conditions, schedules, and health insurance.

  • guarantees compliance with working and living conditions for foreign workers.

Lawyers help to check compliance with the criteria, issue the necessary forms (ETA-9142A, I-129), coordinate the terms with the US Department of Labor and conduct consultations with the immigration service (USCIS).
