Create Your H-2A Visa Checklist

Are you a farmer who needs seasonal or temporary workers for planting, cultivating, and harvesting crops but domestic workers are in short supply? The H-2A temporary agricultural workers program - often called the H-2A Visa Program - helps American farmers fill employment gaps by hiring workers from other countries.

Answer a few short questions below to receive a checklist of requirements, fees, forms, and a timeline built around your H-2A hiring needs. You can also track the status of your current H-2A cases with the H-2A Case Tracker.
