🗓️ Countdown to 2025: What to Expect in Immigration Law

As part of Denizen Immigration’s Countdown to 2025 series, we’re discussing key changes in immigration law that may impact employers and employees alike.

This week’s focus: Stricter Limits on Visa-Sponsored Petitions 📉 

If current trends continue into 2025, employers should prepare for:

➡️ Fewer H-2B Supplemental Visas: Employers in seasonal industries could face challenges with fewer supplemental visas to meet labor needs.

➡️ Tighter H-1B Restrictions: New laws and regulations may narrow H-1B eligibility and reduce the number of available visas.

➡️ Changes to Other Visa Categories: Policies affecting L-1 intracompany transfers, TN and E-3 professionals, and other categories may impose stricter requirements.

How Can Employers Prepare?

✔️ Strategic Workforce Planning: Anticipate your workforce needs early and determine which roles may require visa sponsorship.

✔️ Stay Updated: Engage with immigration counsel to stay informed about proposed and upcoming policy changes.

✔️ Document Everything: Maintain robust records of recruitment efforts, job descriptions, and compliance processes to prepare for potential audits.

✔️ Explore Alternatives: Evaluate alternative visa categories or strategies to address your workforce needs.

✔️ Advocate for Your Industry: Collaborate with industry groups to voice the importance of visa programs to policymakers.
