I hold in my hand a piece of paper 
You lot who go back and forth will know this
It says on it: Entries M
Does this mean multiple entries are permitted? And that I can wander off to Canada after work and come back in without much hassle? Beyond whatâs normal these days anyway⌠
And does work mean just paid work?
I think it does mean âMultiple entriesâ Alli, is it a work visa or does it have limitations to just the particular harvest work ?
Good luck Alikat,Just another tip,when leaving US Customs make sure you hand in the stub form on your Visa informing INS that you are leaving the US.You probably donât think much of it as âAll Records are on computer etcâ-But on your next visit to USA you can be denied entry a/c of overstaying your Visa.
It has happened lately,so cross your Tâs and dot the Iâs on all paperwork,and above all be nice to the INS person on arrival"Yes sir,No sir,Three bags full sir routine" as they have no sense of humour or personality and like putting people in detention for trivial reasons and deportation on next flight with no chance to sort the problem out.
One of our crew was locked up in Los Angeles for 18 hours 'cause of a typo on his Visa and was due to be deported-problem was the US Consulate in Sydney had typed the wrong number on his Visa but according to INS in LA-Too Bad!!Go back to Australia and sort it out.He was released at 1.00 AM with no apology or helpâŚ
The stub is attached to a âVisa Waiverâ not a âVisaâ a visa waiver is just a card that is filled in before entry to the US and is for visitors only. Alli has a visa which is a stamp in her UK passport. (Or should be) If at the moment all she has is a document then US INS will give her the apropriate stamp upon her entry.
Might have changed,I was on a H2-A Work Visa in 2002 and the Visa was on my passport as well as the stub that had to be turned in on departure.
Visa Waiver program is for those staying 90 days or less.
But I stand corrected as the goal posts keep changing and I am not up to date on currant proceedures. 
Alli,
You can go to Canada on holiday within your visa dates no problem (We went to Winnepeg for a long weekend with no INS hassles) but donât try to go after your visa has expired and expect to be welcomed back to âUncle Samâ after your trip with open arms!!!
Jan Altendorf emailed me the other day and shes expecting you on the 29th June and you will do your CDL at Ardoch,ND as well as helping out in the workshop and then she hopes to start you into the harvest work at Mott, South-west ND (Really busy period!!).Go to âGeorges Barâ in Mott for the best Rib-eye Steaks in the States!!! A guy called Ron Reich is their biggest customer there and is a top bloke,he takes you out for a slap up meal and a few âsherrysâ after you finish his crop!!! ( As you will find out on harvest this plan could all change 50 times before it actually happens!!!)Then its onto Langdon North-east ND where you will be harvesting right along a 1 foot wide strip of grass that divides the USA with Canada!!! After that its head back down south to S.Dakota,Iowa for the fall crops of Soybeans/Corn around Oct/Nov,
Keep in touch.
Sounds fine to me BT, is it as simple as some say? Will I have to do much reading up or will I be fine with my UK experience on rigids?
You should be fine,as Iâve said before, had guys with me who had never driven any kind of truck before and they got on fine.One even failed because he knocked over a road sign but passed with the same examiner 5 days later!!! Just read up the American driving test books they are much the same as back home anyway 
Good luck to everybody who comes over to the US and wants to give it a whirl here.
But as I read all these posts, I must admit, Iâm a bit puzzled. With all the kerffuffle
about immigration, and especially after 911, I would think it must be very difficult to get a work permit. It must be as it was not easy for me back in 1984.
So I guess Iâm more than a little curious as to how you have a work permit, unless you are married to an American, a specialised job, or you have a boat load of $$$.
An entry visa is not enough, but I could be wrong as Immigration law, changes as many times as I change my sox. Even attorneys donât know it all.
The Americans are sooooo xenophobic, they are suspicious of everybody, even the Brits, thanks to that clown, Richard Read, the shoe bomber/ 
Allikat is working the harvest. US immigration allows migrant and foreign workers to work the harvest, since itâs such a short-term and low paying sector that they canât find enough native workers to do the work. Every year, something approching 1 million Mexican farm workers are given visas for harvest work. Itâs fairly common.
