This session will help you spot situations that trigger immigration red flags.  

As competition for talent heats up and business models evolve, you need to have a basic understanding of immigration laws. This session will help you:

  • Know how to determine if an employee needs a visa for an international business trip, training or assignment.
  • Understand U.S. visa options for low-skilled and high-skilled workers.
  • Understand when it might be okay to offer different terms and conditions of employment to U.S. and foreign workers, and when it is not.
  • Spot situations where an immigration audit of a business partner might be prudent.
  • Avoid common pitfalls that can result in fines or penalties.
