The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced a temporary suspension of H-2A certification fee collection, effective Sept. 2, 2025.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The H-2A visa program allows U.S. agricultural employers to bring foreign nationals to the U.S. for temporary or seasonal agricultural work. Certification fees are a critical part of the application process, covering administrative costs associated with labor condition assessments and compliance monitoring. OFLC will be transitioning from collecting fees submitted in paper format (e.g., checks) during the suspension period.
