Tag visas application

Here is a general outline of the steps to apply for a TAG (Temporary Agricultural Worker) visa:

Step 1: Determine Eligibility

• Check if you are eligible to apply for a TAG visa by meeting the following requirements:
  • You are a foreign national from a participating country (check the official government website for a list of participating countries).
  • You have a job offer from a U.S. employer that is participating in the TAG program.
  • You have the necessary education, training, and experience for the job.
  • You meet the health and character requirements.

Step 2: Gather Required Documents

• Gather the following documents:
  • A valid passport with at least six months' validity.
  • A copy of your job offer letter from the U.S. employer.
  • Proof of your education, training, and experience (e.g., diplomas, certificates, transcripts).
  • Proof of your language proficiency (e.g., English language test results).
  • Proof of your health insurance.
  • Proof of your character (e.g., police certificate).

Step 3: Fill Out the Application

• Fill out the online application form (Form I-129) and submit it to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
• Pay the application fee (currently $460).
• Attach the required documents to the application.

Step 4: Wait for Processing

• USCIS will review your application and may request additional information or evidence.
• If your application is approved, USCIS will issue a Form I-797, Notice of Action, which serves as proof of your application.

Step 5: Attend an Interview (if required)

• If your application is selected for an interview, you will be notified by USCIS.
• Attend the interview at the designated USCIS office.

Step 6: Receive Your Visa

• If your application is approved, you will receive a TAG visa (Form I-766) at the U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country.
• The visa is usually valid for one year, but may be extended for an additional year.

Step 7: Enter the United States

• Enter the United States with your TAG visa and present your passport, visa, and other required documents to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer.
• The CBP officer will inspect your documents and admit you to the United States.

Note: The application process and requirements may vary depending on your country of origin, the type of job you are applying for, and other factors. It is recommended that you consult the official government website and/or consult with an immigration attorney for more information.
