H-2A Visas for Agricultural Workers

Here is more information about H-2A Visas.

Eligibility Requirements

H-2B visas are managed by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). These visas allow non-agricultural employers to hire immigrants to work in the U.S. on a temporary basis.

To qualify, an employer must establish the following:

• There are not enough available workers in the U.S. to perform the work;
• Employing an immigrant for the position will not have an adverse effect on similar U.S. employees; and
• The work is temporary.

Employers can show that the employment is temporary in a number of ways, including demonstrating that the work is seasonal, that the work is needed on a one-time basis, that there is a peak in the amount of work needed at a specific time, or that the work is intermittent.

As with most other types of visas, there is an annual cap on the number of H-2B visas that may be granted each year, so USCIS will accept applications after the cap has been reached only for individuals who are exempt from the cap.

Application Process

An employer must first submit an application for temporary labor certification to the Department of Labor (DOL). Once the certification is approved, the employer must then complete and submit the Form I-129 to USCIS. After USCIS approves the Form I-129, the employee must apply with the U.S. Department of State to be admitted to the U.S.
