1. Department of Labor (DOL) Filing
Farmers must first submit a job order and application to the U.S. Department of Labor. This confirms that the job is seasonal and that there are no local workers available.
2. USCIS Petition
Once the DOL approves the application, a petition is filed with USCIS. This is the final federal approval needed before workers can apply for their visas.
3. Consulate Interviews
Workers must attend interviews at their country’s U.S. Consulate. Here, they submit their documents and finalize their visa approval.
4. Travel & Arrival
After visa approval, travel arrangements are made for workers to reach the farm on the exact date needed. Farmers get a fully prepared workforce ready to start work immediately.
With proper guidance, the entire H-2A process becomes smooth, quick, and stress-free.
