Agricultural Workers

Agricultural operations run on tight seasonal timelines. A delayed petition or a compliance gap can cost you your workforce at the worst possible moment. Caroline Baker Law handles every step of the H-2A process so you can focus on your operation.

H-2A Temporary Agricultural Worker Visa

The H-2A program allows U.S. agricultural employers to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary or seasonal agricultural jobs. To qualify, the position must be temporary or seasonal in nature, there must be insufficient available U.S. workers to fill the role, and employment of H-2A workers must not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.

The H-2A process involves both the Department of Labor and USCIS — and the requirements are specific. Job orders, housing, transportation, and wage compliance all must be in place before workers arrive.
