The Department of Labor (DOL) will modernize the burdensome H2A visa process, eliminating the requirement to advertise a job opening in print newspapers.
The advertising will now shift to the SeasonalJobs.dol.gov website, a mobile-friendly platform, and on State Workforce Agency websites. The changes will take effect October 21.
“Both of these actions by DOL are critical changes the Administration is making to improve the H-2A application process,” USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue said. “By streamlining these processes, DOL is bringing the H-2A process into the 21st Century allowing farmers to be able to better and cost-effectively advertise for workers they need and fill out the required forms faster and more efficiently, because no one should have to hire a lawyer to hire a farm worker.”
