See US EB-3 Employment-Based Immigration. Agriculture is seasonal by nature—the employer must show a year-round permanent full-time job, not pure seasonal work.
Lessons
Other Workers farm cases are often tested on whether the job is temporary/seasonal. Job and wage structure must support a permanent full-time story.
Global Immigrate’s recommendation
State year-round hours on the PERM and offer letter. Start Vietnam notarizations and police certificates early. If family follows, assess children near age 21.
