Services
Temporary Agricultural Workers
We assist growers, farmers, harvesters, garden centers, and nurseries in which the typical positions are field workers, farm laborers, field laborers, pickers, packers, and harvesters. GM transfers some of them sequentially from one employer to another for up to 3 years, which provides employers a chance to save more money and provides workers a longer period of income. U.S employers have the opportunity to bring reliable motivated farm workers to fill temporary agricultural jobs. Employers must provide free housing, pay prevailing wages, and pay for inbound transportation and visa cost at half of the contract, and they must return transportation at the end of the contract. As your Partner, we carry as much of the load for our clients as possible, but the H-2A Agricultural approval process does require employer involvement, particularly at the start.
Temporary Construction, Landscaping, Hospitality and other Industries
GM Consultants provides labor for seasonal, intermittent or a one-time need workers. The most common industries that we source workers are landscaping, forestry, restaurant, hospitality, maintenance, food processing, and construction (including: concrete, equipment operators, painting, roofing, framing, and drywall). As your partner, we free you of the day-to-day and uncertainties of a very tedious process. The H2-B process for guest workers takes approximately 5 months, from the initial application to the arrival of the employee in the USA and there is a cap of 33,000 workers so call us to see if we can help with workers for the season starting in October or April.

Court Order on Presidential Proclamation on Visas (November 13, 2017)
As part of its efforts to improve investigative capabilities and processes to detect the attempted entry of terrorists or other threats to public safety in the United States, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has decided to restrict the issuance of new visas for those foreign citizens who do not have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States
On November 13, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit granted, in part, the government’s motion for an emergency stay of the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii’s October 17, preliminary injunction. The preliminary injunction prohibited the U.S. government from enforcing or implementing Sections 2(a), (b), (c), (e), (g), and (h) of Presidential Proclamation 9645, “Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry into the United States by Terrorists or other Public-Safety Threats.” Under the Ninth Circuit’s ruling, the earlier preliminary injunction is stayed, except as to “foreign nationals who have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.”
The court orders did not affect Sections (d) and (f) of the Proclamation, so nationals from North Korea and Venezuela remain subject to the restrictions and limitations listed in the Presidential Proclamation, which went into effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, with respect to nationals of those countries.

No visas will be revoked pursuant to the Proclamation.

New Visa Would Allow Workers to Stay a Minimum of 36 Months
It would replace the problematic H-2A visa for temporary or seasonal workers with a new H-2C program that would still provide for those workers but also allow for an initial minimum stay of 36 months. Unlike the H-2A program, the Ag Act does not require employers to provide housing and transportation for foreign workers.
