The H2A Visa allows foreign workers entry to the U.S. to work in agriculture.
The H2A visa is not self-petitioned. Employers have to apply on behalf of their employees. The employer can be self-employed, a partnership, corporation or agricultural association. An agent may also apply on behalf of the employer. |

Workers' spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 are allowed to join them in the U.S. under H-4 status. Dependents are not permitted to work, unless they personally qualify for a work visa.
