How we Help

How we staff the whole production year
How we staff the whole production year
Denizen provides H-2A visa legal services for farms and agricultural operations, staffing the whole production year by layering H-2B and TN visas around the uncapped H-2A season.
Most farm attorneys stop at the H-2A filing. The harder question is what your operation needs in March and November, when pre-season prep and equipment work fall outside what H-2A covers. The problem is not the cap. It is planning the whole calendar and staffing every part of it.

No lottery, no cap, shoulder season covered
H-2A has no numerical cap and no lottery, so you file for as many seasonal workers as your operation needs. Pre-season prep, irrigation, and equipment work fall outside H-2A, so we layer in H-2B to cover them, with staggered start dates matched to your crop cycles.

Audit-ready compliance
Agricultural programs carry real compliance weight: housing certified before workers arrive and kept inspection-ready all season, the adverse effect wage rate that changes each year, the 75 percent hours guarantee, the 50 percent rule for U.S. applicants, and recruitment through state workforce agencies. We keep the records ready, so a DOL visit is a short process, not a crisis.

Green cards for your returning core team
Your best herdsmen, equipment operators, and crew leads come back season after season. After several seasons of return history, many qualify for EB-3 green cards through PERM, so they become year-round employees who manage your seasonal crews.

The signature move
Plan the whole calendar, not just the filing
We map your production year end to end. H-2A staffs the agricultural season, H-2B layers in for pre-season prep and post-harvest work that H-2A does not cover, and TN visas bring in Canadian and Mexican agronomists, crop consultants, and technical staff with no cap and fast processing.
Same workforce, coordinated across programs, so the whole year is staffed rather than just harvest.
