Emergency Filing Justification: We respectfully request a waiver of the standard H-2A filing timeline under 20 CFR 655.134 due to an emergency situation that constitutes good and substantial cause. Our operation is facing an increase in demand for vegetables and have expanded our productions. Our current H-2A workforce is struggling to keep up with their assigned duties. Due to unexpected delays in the availability of domestic workers and a sudden acceleration in customer demand, we now require 3 additional H-2A workers to assist with this increase in work. Without this emergency waiver, we will be unable to harvest a large percentage of our crop. This would result in: Severe financial losses due to unharvested produce and death of crops. This situation is wholly outside of our control and was not foreseeable at the time we would have normally filed our application.
