What Is the H-4 Mi Familia Program?
The H-4 Mi Familia pathway lets immediate family of eligible H-2A workers accompany them during the authorized period of stay. Typically that means the spouse and unmarried children under 21. Dependent status is tied to the principal worker's H-2A authorization.
Important: H-4 dependents of H-2A workers generally cannot work in the U.S. They may study and remain with the family while the principal worker is authorized. For agricultural hiring itself, start with our H-2A visa services.
