This H-2A temporary agricultural program allows agricultural employers to bring nonimmigrant foreign workers to the United States in order to provide temporary or seasonal agricultural labor. This is, if the employer anticipated a shortage of domestic workers.
These Surety Bonds like other bonds do require underwriting which includes credit history. We have had a lot of success placing bonds for those that have “challenged” credit, even with a score in the 500s, we have been successful with many, not all but with many.
