Beyond Borders: Immigration, Compliance, HR & Talent Trends

USCIS Reaches Fiscal Year 2025 H-1B Cap

USCIS has received enough petitions to reach 65,000 H-1B visa regular cap and the 20,000 H-1B visa U.S. advanced degree exemption, known as the master’s cap, for fiscal year 2025. However, USCIS will still accept and process petitions that are exempt from the cap. Petitions for current H-1B workers who were previously counted against the cap and still hold their cap number remain exempt from the FY 2025 H-1B cap.

I-9 & Immigration Compliance Likely to Be Tightened Under Trump Administration

With Donald Trump returning to office, businesses and HR teams might need to get ready for stricter rules on I-9 compliance and immigration compliance. During his first term, the Trump administration made big changes to how immigration laws were enforced. A similar approach could mean tighter rules, more audits, and heavier penalties for not following the law in his upcoming term. 

Are You I-9 Compliance Ready?

As an employer, you must be aware of your responsibility of completing I-9 formalities for each person you hire in your firm. It ensures you have hired employees legally and they are eligible to work for that particular position. There are two sections in the form. The employees must fill in section one, where they must fill in basic details. You should complete section 2 as an employer, which comprises review and verification. For detailed information on how to be I-9 compliance-ready, download our playbook.

Navigating Immigration During Rapid Policy Changes

The immigration landscape is constantly evolving, with frequent policy changes and regulatory updates. Similarly, with Donald Trump returning as president, immigration policies are more likely to shift quickly. This could bring in a lot of challenges. Staying informed and adapting to these changes is crucial for individuals and businesses seeking to navigate the complex immigration process.

Trump’s Green Card Policies: What Could Change?

With Donald Trump as President-elect, immigration policy is once again in the spotlight, particularly his approach to green cards. His proposals include offering green cards to international graduates of U.S. colleges to help keep skilled talent in the country. However, there’s talk that he may also reintroduce restrictions on legal immigration overall.
