H2-A visas require a multi-level government application process that must comply with extensive agency regulations. The time you would have to spend reading through the statutes and accompanying regulations, as well as worrying about completing and filing the necessary paperwork, could be better spent focusing on your business. Since time and money are two of your most important assets, let us help you save both by putting our expertise to work for you.

Here are the basics on what to expect when Jackson LAW handles your seasonal labor needs:

• Flat-fee pricing based on the number of visa slots applied for and includes all government filing fees and required advertising
• Ongoing support by a seasoned North Carolina agricultural lawyer on all issues related to hiring H-2A workers.
• Employer is responsible for reimbursing H-2A workers their relocation costs. Worker relocation costs are variable and are comprised of the visa fee (MRV), border crossing fee (CBP), and inbound/outbound travel expenses plus subsistence pay. You should reimburse inbound relocation costs at the end of the first payroll period along with the first payroll check. You pay or provide outbound travel plus subsistence pay at the end of the season to those H-2A workers who complete the work contract.

And of course, Andy can give you a detailed estimate of your cost to participate in the H-2A program. Just contact us at least 75 days before the first date you need H-2A workers on site. You can use our contact form, or simply give us a call at (910) 592-4121.
