Starting July 8, U.S. workers and organizations that represent
farmworkers will have a new way to learn about temporary agricultural
positions accepted by the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC)
through a single online location. The new H-2A Job Registry will
display all active agricultural jobs until half the period of
employment has passed; some positions for certified agricultural jobs
will remain archived for up to 5 years.
The new web tool will provide a single, easily searchable point of
entry for the public to find information about agricultural jobs filed
under the H-2A visa program. The new tool was developed to fully comply
with new H-2A regulations (implemented in March 2010) and is integrated
into the OFLC’s iCERT Visa Portal System, available online at
http://icert.doleta.gov.
