Hello There,<\/p>\n

A warm Namaste to you from Nepal. I went through your website but couldn’t see Nepal in between the limited list of countries for H2A program. However, i know some agencies back in Nepal who are doing something in this scheme.<\/p>\n

I would like to put my query as a newbie to this scheme whether it could be done for countries like Nepal too or not?<\/p>\n

It is for sure that the market for this scheme in Nepal is very huge since its not hidden Nepal is regarded as the land of agriculture too.<\/p>\n

Please show me some way in this regard. If it is possible, we can work hand in hand in this project. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Effective Jan. 18, 2011, nationals from the following countries are eligible to participate in the H-2A and H-2B programs:\u00a0 Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Belize, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, Ethiopia, Fiji, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Kiribati, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Mexico, Moldova, Nauru, The Netherlands, Nicaragua, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Samoa, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, South Africa, South Korea, Tonga, Turkey, Tuvalu, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Uruguay, and Vanuatu.\u00a0 Of these countries, the following were designated for the first time this year:\u00a0 Barbados, Estonia, Fiji, Hungary, Kiribati, Latvia, Macedonia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.<\/p>\n

A national from a country not on the list may only be the beneficiary of an approved H-2B petition if the Secretary of Homeland Security determines that it is in the U.S. interest for that alien to be the beneficiary of such a petition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
