Immigration Enforcement and Compliance: Emerging Risks Across Federal Agencies

Strategy for DOL Audits, DOS Vetting, CBP Screening, USCIS Policy Changes

BarbriPdBannerMessage

About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will examine how immigration enforcement and compliance action is increasingly driven by other government agencies. The panel will cover specific examples and what practitioners can do to prepare their clients for these changes.

Description

The experts will navigate current government initiatives and operational shifts that are changing case circumstances, including the rise in DOL audits and investigations; DOS’ expanded vetting processes and limitation of third country nationals (TCNs)’s visa appointments to their countries of residence; CBP’s expansion of biometric collection and use of AI-driven screening tools; and USCIS’ policy and operational shifts, including the end of automatic extension for and limited duration of EADs, the new weighted H-1B lottery system, and pressure on existing grace periods.  

Listen as our panel provides practical guidance for recognizing risk, counseling clients on documentation and timing and building defensible processes that hold up under multi-agency review.
