USCIS Announces Centralized Filing Location for the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Worker Program
WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today a new customer service initiative to improve the H-2A (temporary/seasonal agricultural worker) petition process.
On August 10, 2007, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez announced a series of reforms to strengthen border security and address immigration challenges. One of those goals was streamlining the H-2A program.
To accomplish this goal, USCIS will institute a series of changes to provide agricultural employers with an orderly and timely flow of legal workers while protecting laborers’ rights.
Among the first of those changes is the establishment of a special USCIS unit dedicated to processing H-2A petitions at the USCIS California Service Center (CSC). The CSC has established special mailing addresses for all H-2A filings. Effective today, H-2A petitioners are encouraged to use the following addresses for all H-2A petitions. (This change will become mandatory once USCIS publishes a notice in the Federal Register.)
For Direct Mail:
U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
California Service Center
ATTN: H-2A Processing Unit
P.O. BOX 10140
Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-1040
For non-United States Postal Service (USPS) deliveries (e.g. private couriers):
U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
California Service Center
ATTN: H-2A Processing Unit
24000 Avila Road, Room 2312
Laguna Niguel, CA 92677
Each H-2A petitioner is encouraged to mark the outside of his or her envelope with “H-2A” and to attach to the top of the petition package a separate sheet saying “H-2A.” This will ensure quick identification of the H-2A case throughout the petition’s processing at CSC.

These are some options if USCIS denies your application.
There is an administrative review process for those who are denied naturalization. If you feel that you have been wrongly denied naturalization, you may request a hearing with an immigration officer.
Your denial letter will explain how to request a hearing and will include the form you need.
