Administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, the H-2 visa program was established to bring foreign workers to the U.S. to fill temporary positions for agricultural (H-2A) and non-agricultural (H-2B) employers, primarily for the hospitality and service industries. The program helps provide a legal and stable workforce for both U.S. farm and non-farm employers who anticipate a lack of available domestic workers.
The H-2 visa process can be cumbersome for employers. That’s where FLECTS relies on its more than three decades of experience to help companies navigate the various filings and requirements of the program with a focus on Mexico and Jamaica recruitment. For both the H-2A and H-2B visa programs, FLECTS provides filing and certification services, arranges embassy appointments, arranges transportation, provides recruitment services, and more. To speak with our team about all our services, contact us at info@flects.com.
FLECTS recruits temporary workers from Jamaica, Mexico, the Caribbean and South America using the U.S. Department of Labor H-2 visa program. In fact, FLECTS has a representative based in Jamaica to recruit workers. FLECTS then helps to administratively process workers, including recruitment and transportation, to ease the burden on employers.
There are several fees associated with obtaining an H-2 visa, including a consulate fee, agent fees, filing fee and more. Once a visa is obtained, employers are then responsible for transportation, housing and subsistence. The total cost varies per employer. A representative from FLECTS would be happy to walk your company through the process and costs associated with the program. Contact us at info@flects.com.
