What H-2A Visa means to ag employers

The H-2A Visa is a nonimmigrant visa program that allows U.S. agricultural employers to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary or seasonal agricultural jobs. Employers must demonstrate that there are not enough U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available to perform the work, and that hiring H-2A workers will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. The program is designed to address labor shortages in the agricultural sector and requires employers to meet specific regulatory requirements, including providing housing and transportation for the workers. There is no annual cap on the number of H-2A visas that can be issued.
