ALERT: If your organization hires foreign workers, you need to understand the dramatic changes occurring in the complex employment-based visa system. Major new restrictions and new deadlines—especially to H-1B visas—are being finalized by the Trump administration (and challenged in court). And a shift of power in Washington could further impact your ability to bring highly skilled foreign nationals to work for you next year.

Join your peers for this incredibly timely look at the options available for employers to bring essential foreign-born talent to the United States— for short-term visits, mid-term assignments and permanent residency.

This in-depth webinar will be led by a true immigration law expert and Washington insider. Attorney Kevin Lashus is a former assistant chief counsel at the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
