Business Immigration Update: Your Questions Answered - Virtual Event

How has Covid 19 impacted our Immigration policies? What are the current requirements for L1A (intracompany transferee) or H1B (skilled worker) visas? How do I get an appointment at an embassy or consulate? Where can I travel and under which rules? So many new questions arise for business travelers every single day. Join us on September 30 for a business immigration virtual discussion with Staci Jenkins from Thompson Hine.

Questions and topics to be covered include:

  • What have been recent changes to the immigration policies and which trends are we seeing?
  • What has been the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic?
  • An update on COVID-19 related travel restrictions
  • What is a blanket petition and how can my company use it?

The event will include time for Q&A.
