The Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) has established a new
Ombudsman Program to help strengthen the H-2A Temporary Agricultural
program. This new Ombudsman Program aims to support fair resolutions to
concerns that show up in the H-2A program community. The Ombudsman
Program will conduct independent, impartial inquiries into issues
connected to the program. The Ombudsman Program will identify areas
where agricultural workers and advocacy organizations are concerned with
how the OFLC functions and will provide recommendations for continual
improvement of the program.
The Ombudsman Program is a free service and may be of help to people
facing issues caused by mistakes, errors or delays in the processing of
their H-2A application. The program does not provide legal services and
is not a way to obtain assistance with completing your H-2A application.
