What is the process to request workers from Jamaica? 

1. After an Employer receives all federal and state approvals, the employer or their representative (Lawyer/Agent) will need to send their job order to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security for processing. 
2. Employers hiring Jamaicans for the first time may elect to interview and select workers from a prescreened pool of workers or they may request that the Ministry facilities this process.  
3. Employers who hired Jamaicans the previous season can indicate the names of workers they wish to return on their new job order.
4. The MLSS will contact the workers and assist them to complete their DS-160 and submit their visa applications to the US Embassy in Kingston for processing. The MLSS monitors the process to ensure timely receipt of visas.
5. After the visa is approved the MLSS notifies the Employer or their agent to make travel arrangements for the worker.  Once the travel dates are received by the MLSS, the worker is notified and called in for orientation and travel.
