H2-A Visa Nationwide Attorneys

The H2-A visa is a nonimmigrant visa that provides work authorization in the United States for temporary agricultural workers and their dependents. It is designed for foreign nationals who want to live and work in the US for a specific period of time, usually not exceeding one year. The process to obtain an H2-A visa involves applying through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), as well as obtaining an employment contract from an employer that has been certified by the Department of Labor (DOL). To be eligible, applicants must meet certain criteria related to their nationality, job type, residence status, age, language proficiency, and other factors. 

The Benefits of Obtaining an H2-A Visa

Obtaining an H2-A visa provides many benefits to foreign nationals who wish to live and work in the United States temporarily. Unlike other types of visas such as H1B or L1 visas, which are issued on a yearly basis, holders of the H2-A can remain in the US for up to 3 years at a time depending on their situation. This makes it ideal for those intending to stay for extended periods of time or even permanently if they can find employers willing to sponsor them. Additionally, holders of this visa may bring their immediate family members with them when relocating to the US which can be beneficial both financially and emotionally during such a transition period.
