Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an H-2A agent and a labor contractor?

An H-2A agent (often an agricultural association) manages the DOL application process and visa procurement for guest workers. A Farm Labor Contractor (FLC) is a company that employs workers and provides them to farms under contract.

Do I need an H-2A agent or can I file directly?

Growers can file H-2A applications directly with the DOL, but the process is complex. Most growers use agricultural associations or attorneys to manage filings, especially for large or multi-state operations.
