What the Work Involves
The job order lists peeling crawfish, cleaning and trimming them for further processing, removing parts, inspecting for defects, weighing, sorting and marking the product, and cleaning up the work area. It is fast, repetitive hand work in a food plant, so good hand speed and attention to hygiene matter.
Requirements
- No previous experience needed
- Meet the company's production standard of 3.5 lbs per hour worked. Workers below the standard may not get more than the minimum hours offered, and long-term low output can lead to termination
- Accept random and post-accident drug and alcohol testing (paid for by the employer)
- Foreign workers need an H-2B visa
StateTally's summary of the DOL data lists lodging as offered for this order. Always read the full job order for housing details and any housing charges before accepting.
Is This Free Visa Sponsorship?
Yes, under H-2B rules. The H-2B regulations (20 CFR 655.20) require employers to pay or reimburse visa and visa processing fees in the first workweek and prohibit any recruitment fees charged to workers. Inbound travel is reimbursed once you complete half the season, and return travel is paid if you finish the contract. That is why H-2B jobs count as free visa sponsorship. You still need to pass a visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate.
How to Apply
- Step 1: Read the official listing and full job order: https://seasonaljobs.dol.gov/jobs/H-400-26276-278088
- Step 2: Contact the employer through the details on the DOL page: email jbrous@acadiacrawfish.com or call +1 377-783-6220 (as listed).
- Step 3: Send a short English message with your full name, country, phone or WhatsApp number, any food processing, fish market, kitchen or factory experience, and confirm you are available from January to July 2027.
- Step 4: Be ready for a phone or video interview.
Tips to Stand Out
- Mention hand-speed work. Experience in fish markets, poultry plants, vegetable packing or kitchens shows you can meet a production target.
- Show reliability. Early shifts start at 4:00 AM, so employers want people who arrive on time every day.
- Ask about earnings. The piece rate means faster peelers can earn more than the hourly wage; ask how it is calculated.
- Plan your budget. Peak crawfish season is spring, so hours can change early and late in the season.
Scam Warning
Do not pay any agent for this job or for an H-2B visa. Recruitment fees are illegal, and the employer is responsible for visa fees. Use only the contact details printed on the official DOL listing, and report anyone who asks for money to the DOL Wage and Hour Division at 1-866-487-9243.
