Webinar Description
As we begin anew after President Trump’s anti-immigration policies, many are wondering what President Biden’s Immigration policies will look like. Immigration attorneys are hopeful for a more immigration-friendly Department of Homeland Security, Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), and USCIS. Immigration attorney Bruce Buchanan will review current and anticipated changes in immigration law and policies under the new administration that may affect your business.
Agenda
- Employment-Based Immigration
Withdraw the regulations on redefining specialty occupation, degrees, and employer/employee relationships or propose new rules in these areas.
Rescind President Trump’s proclamations applying to individuals seeking to enter the U.S. through immigrant/nonimmigrant work visa programs.
Increase the number of employment-based visas and eliminate country caps on countries through legislation.
Exempt from any cap recent Ph.D. graduates in STEM fields and provide them a green card upon graduation .
Create startup visas for foreign-born entrepreneurs.
- Immigration Compliance/Worksite Enforcement
ICE audits.
ICE Raids of employers.
- USCIS
Rescind policy memos that slowed processing, increased RFEs, and not grant deference to previously approved petitions.
Rescind policy that mandates a field office interview for employment-based I-485 adjustment of status cases.
- Seasonal/Agricultural Workers
Give agricultural workers a fast-tracked path to obtaining a green card.
Allow seasonal employers in some industries to certify need for workers based on labor market studies.

If Comprehensive Immigration Reform, as proposed by President Biden, is passed by Congress, what will it mean for employers.
