We at Premier Learning Solutions understand deeply the impact the current status of COVID-19/coronavisus is having on businesses and their operations. We have decided at this time to cancel this event and will re-visit at a later date.

Searches for visa-related jobs on Indeed spiked a 673% increase in 2018.
And with tightening immigration policies, you might start to see an uptick in employee visa cases if you haven’t already - especially since the government plans to move forward with new regulations that redefine the H-1B and L-1 visa programs in 2020.
In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll be covering the latest visa updates and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)'s plans for 2020, including:
- Legal red flags to know for employee visas, including H-1B, L-1, O-1, H-4, TN (as impacted by the “New NAFTA”), and F-1 practical training (both CPT and OPT)
- What's new in the first quarter of 2020 and how it impacts all work-related visa categories, including I-94 and I-9 forms
- How the USCIS's newly proposed regulations will impact employers later this year
Program Highlights
Turning student visas into green cards:
- Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT) visas: What codes are on the chopping block this year?
- How to legally get an international student from OPT student visa to H-1B temporary visa to green card
Navigating the new lottery system:
- Techniques to expedite the application process
- Keys to distinguishing between H-1B specialty occupations and O-1 “extraordinary ability and achievement”
- New qualification standards for H-1B applicants and ways to boost the chances of applicants to qualify
What’s subject to change later this year:
- Changes to the H-4 visa in March 2020
- New regulations if the USCIS narrows companies’ ability to sponsor L-1B visas
- New NAFTA’s potential changes to the TN visa classification in 2020
