WHO IS THE H-2A VISA PROGRAM FOR?
The H-2A visa program is especially for those local farm business owners who find it difficult to get domestic workers due to lack of trained labor which is not available in abundance in the local market and other various reasons. So, with the H-2A Visa program, you can enjoy the liberty to get onboard workers from other countries into the United States for temporary or seasonal agricultural work without any hassle and delays. Please bear in mind, it takes almost 90 days to complete the whole process from start to end depending on the various government agencies. If you have a deadline to meet, we suggest you kindly ensure filling out the application well in advance to get your staff to the worksite before the season starts to avoid work delays. The H-2A Visa application has been divided into four categories; Standard, Emergency, Immediate Need, and Extending Workers. Alternatively, you can also get in touch with us, our support team will guide you through the whole process as well as we will take care of all the possible factors on your behalf from start till the end that can cause delays and hamper your plans. We will ensure the smooth and fast delivery of your resources. We are industry experts in processing H-2A Visa at the optimal time!
