Quarterly US Immigration Update

Quarterly US Immigration Update

Corporate team meeting in modern office boardroom

The US immigration landscape is changing rapidly, driven by recent government actions, shifting policy priorities and increased compliance scrutiny. For HR and mobility leaders, the impact is immediate — affecting hiring timelines, workforce planning and risk management decisions.

In this session, EY Immigration professionals will discuss the most relevant US business immigration changes at the time of the webinar, and the interconnectivity of these changes and its rippling impact upon the talent strategies of US employers.

We’ll deep dive into the most recent policy updates spanning the breadth from new grads on F-1 visas and H-1B professionals to immigrant visa processing and lawful permanent residency, and discuss the impact and strategies for employees in different situations. EY panelists will tackle unexpected outcomes arising out of Department of Labor (DOL) wage levels and forecast expected impactful policies, such as USCIS’ handling of grace periods, H-1B Cap RFE trends, and travel restrictions and their impact upon various application types.

Attendees will come away with a clearer understanding of emerging risks, practical considerations, and proactive talent strategies.
