FAQs for Texas Farmers

What is the H-2A visa, and how does it benefit farmers? 

​

The H-2A visa allows farmers to employ legal, seasonal workers from other countries to assist with planting, harvesting, and other agricultural tasks. Workers can stay in the U.S. for up to 10 months. This visa program ensures farms have reliable labor during critical farming seasons. 

​

What is the H-4 visa, and how can it help keep workers' families close?

​

The H-4 visa, also called the Mi Familia program, permits the immediate family members (spouses and children under 20 years) of H-2A and H-2B visa holders to join them in the United States. While H-4 visa holders cannot work, they can stay with their family during the worker’s employment period.

​

Is housing required to be provided to H-2A visa workers?

​

Yes, employers hiring H-2A visa workers are required to provide free, safe, and secure housing for their workers during their employment period.

​

Are employers of H-2B visa workers required to provide housing?

​

No, employers of workers under the H-2B visa program (non-agricultural industries) are not required to provide housing. However, many employers choose to offer assistance to help workers transition smoothly.

​

Do I need to cover transportation costs for H-2A and H-2B workers?

​

Yes. For H-2A workers, employers must cover both inbound (to the U.S.) and outbound (return home) transportation. For H-2B visa workers, employers are also required to pay for both inbound and outbound travel at the start and end of each season. Understanding these obligations helps employers make informed decisions when hiring through employment based visas.

​

How do H-2A and H-2B temporary work visas differ from other employment visas like the H-1B?
 

The H-2A and H-2B are temporary employment visas designed for seasonal agricultural and non-agricultural work, connecting employers with skilled and unskilled workers for a specified period. The H-1B visa, by contrast, is an employment based visa for individuals in a specialty occupation who possess specialized knowledge.
 

Other employment based visas may require proof of extraordinary ability, exceptional ability, or serve a national interest. While those visa categories can lead to permanent residency, the H-2A and H-2B programs are focused on helping employers fill immediate, seasonal job opportunities with a reliable and legal workforce. Head Honchos specializes in H-2A, H-2B, and H-4 visas — helping Texas employers understand the right visa category, meet eligibility criteria, and make informed decisions about their workforce needs.
