As speculation grows about a potential Trump administration comeback, employers and employees must prepare for possible changes to U.S. business immigration policies. The previous administration introduced significant restrictions, and similar measures may resurface, impacting industries nationwide.
Key Expected Changes:
- Stricter Visa Rules:Â H-1B and L-1 visa limits may tighten, affecting skilled workers and multinational companies.
- Elimination of H-4 Work Authorization:Â Spouses of H-1B holders could lose employment opportunities.
- Delays and Vetting:Â Enhanced security reviews may lead to longer visa processing times.
- Reduced J-1 and F-1 Visas:Â Challenges for international students and exchange visitors may increase.
- Enforcement Actions:Â Employers could face more worksite raids, I-9 audits, and penalties for non-compliance.
Steps to Stay Ahead:
Employers should audit I-9 records, file immigration petitions early, and assist employees with green card applications. Employees are encouraged to renew visas promptly, plan travel carefully, and monitor policy updates.
