Navigating New Immigration Changes with Confidence
Recent developments in U.S. immigration policy mean businesses employing foreign talent will need to adapt to a new landscape. With intensified enforcement and policy shifts, employers must prepare for changes ahead. Our team is here to help your organization stay compliant and support your workforce as regulations evolve.
Section 1: Prioritizing U.S. Employment Opportunities
New policies emphasizing “Hire American” may lead to more audits by the Department of Labor and USCIS, affecting how companies document recruitment practices and wage levels for foreign nationals.
Section 2: Visa Restrictions and Petition Oversight
Employer-sponsored visas, especially H-1Bs, may face greater scrutiny, stricter documentation requirements, and longer processing times. Employers should be ready for potential Requests for Evidence and updated petition strategies.
Section 3: Changes to Work Authorization Programs
Proposals to limit programs like OPT for F-1 students, H-4 spousal work authorizations, and certain humanitarian work permissions may impact workforce composition. Employers should assess their workforce to identify and support affected employees.
Section 4: Consular Processing and Travel Considerations
Changes to visa processing and entry requirements may disrupt business travel. Companies with globally mobile staff should plan for potential delays and increased scrutiny during international travel.
Section 5: Immigration Enforcement and Workplace Compliance
With enforcement on the rise, companies must prioritize Form I-9 compliance and be prepared for potential ICE audits. Regular audits of compliance files and complete documentation can help safeguard against penalties.
Section 6: EB-5 Investment Visa Updates
The EB-5 Program may attract more high-net-worth investors due to potential tax benefits, but increased scrutiny and processing delays are expected. Investors and businesses should prepare for detailed consular reviews that could affect project timelines.
