Attorneys from Corporate Immigration Partners, the affiliated law firm of Envoy Global, review two turbulent years in employment-based immigration, covering three recent court wins: the vacated H-1B $100,000 fee, the lifted USCIS case-processing freeze and the struck-down 75-country immigrant visa ban.
They also flag what's changing next, including the end of duration of status for F-1 and J-1 students, a proposed new H-1B fee and tighter CPT enforcement. HR professionals will leave with practical guidance for tracking expirations, evaluating sponsorship options and setting policy ahead of 2027.
This webinar was recorded September 9, 2026, and U.S. corporate immigration policies evolve quickly. Visit envoyglobal.com for ongoing updates.
