On December 7, Tonkon Torp Business Immigration lawyers Alan Perkins, Turid Owren, Melina LaMorticella, and Melany Savitt hosted their annual year-end briefing for employers, reviewing business immigration changes in 2018 and offering forecasts for 2019.
After the attorneys reviewed the current state of business travel, they dove into temporary visa issues, looking at increased government scrutiny impacting business visitors, L-1 intracompany transferees, H-1B professionals, treaty professionals, and other visa types. Tonkon Torp's Business Immigration team also discussed the changing policies and longer processing times for permanent residence status. The program concluded with a look at a number of hot business immigration topics including marijuana, Form I-9, and increased worksite enforcement.
Tonkon Torp's Business Immigration Practice Group counsels businesses on the full suite of immigration options and compliance matters relating to employment of foreign national employees.
