SUMMARY:U.S. Travel & Maintenance of Status: What HR/Foreign Born Employees and Business Travelers Must Know
DESCRIPTION:As the current Administration enters the second half of its first year\, news reports continue to highlight problems encountered at U.S. border crossings. At the same time\, internal immigration enforcement has intensified\, creating a real risk that even U.S. citizens and legally authorized foreign nationals may be mistakenly caught up in ICE’s inconsistent enforcement efforts.  \nManaging Partner\, David Zaritzky Brown\, discussed best practices for entering the U.S. for all types of visitors\, and once you are in the U.S.\, the best way to maintain status. David leveraged his 25+ years of experience to walk through the entry process and share real-life tips. He also explained how attorneys work behind the scenes to support clients and what clients should do to partner with counsel to maintain legal status. During this period of increased enforcement\, it’s important that employers ensure all employees are well protected and traveling in accordance with US immigration laws.   \nFor your convenience\, you may access the recording here. \n*This webinar was offering SHRM Professional Development Credit.

SUMMARY:Breaking Down the Trump H-1B Executive Order – What You Need to Know Now
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, September 23rd at 1pm CST\, we hosted an emergency webinar to discuss the impact of the Trump Administration’s recent Executive Order requiring individuals holding H-1B status to pay a $100\,000 penalty for entering the U.S.\, seeking an H-1B visa\, or receiving H-1B approval (if the case was pending while the individual was outside the U.S.). Managing Partner David Zaritzky Brown explained the plain language meaning of the EO and discussed its impact. He also walked listeners through how to plan around this EO and what was expected to happen with it in the near future. We invited all HR professionals and employees potentially impacted by this EO to tune in for these important updates. \nGiven the volume of clients we represent and the number of requests for individual counseling and town halls\, we began with this webinar to reach the broadest number of clients as quickly as possible. For those unable to attend the live event\, a recording was made available within 24 hours of the original broadcast. \nFor your convenience\, you may access the recording here. \n*This webinar was offering SHRM Professional Development Credit.

SUMMARY:Green Card Game Plan Part 2: Executing the Green Card Strategy
DESCRIPTION:In part two of the Green Card Game Plan series\, David Zaritzky Brown\, Founder and Managing Partner of Brown Immigration Law\, took a deeper look at the employment-based green card options introduced in the first session and provided direct examples of how they operate. He also presented specific case studies and explained his term “leap-frogging” for individuals who were subject to significant immigrant visa backlogs. \nKey green card options discussed included PERM-based EB-2/3 filings\, Extraordinary Ability\, Outstanding Researcher\, and Multinational Manager filings. He also went over the EB-2 NIW category. Given the current immigrant visa backlogs\, the firm found that many of the people they worked with experienced multiple filings – David’s suggestions helped streamline the approach and save money. After the presentation\, David hosted a Q/A to answer any questions the audience had. \nFor your convenience\, you may access the recording HERE. \n*This webinar was offering SHRM Professional Development Credit.

SUMMARY:Simple\, Successful Visa Strategies for New or Existing U.S. Companies
DESCRIPTION:While many companies that hire foreign talent for their U.S. offices\, or those looking to expand to the U.S.\, see headlines that create doubt about the success of moving teams or hiring foreign talent\, this is not the case. We have routinely succeeded in finding a path to hire or achieve business entry in almost every situation\, despite the prevailing myths about how difficult it may be. \nThis session was designed for companies either already in the U.S. or preparing to establish U.S. operations. It provided a clear and concise understanding of the best paths available given each company’s specific situation. Managing Partner David Zaritzky Brown\, who brings over 28 years of experience and thousands of successful cases\, outlined the most effective visa pathways for launching and staffing new ventures or hiring key talent for existing U.S. businesses. \nDavid covered major visa categories including the L-1\, E-1\, E-2\, E-3\, TN\, IEP\, and O-1\, explaining how each supports different business goals. Through real-world case studies\, he demonstrated how companies can identify the best visa options for routine hiring and for bringing over initial management teams\, while also addressing corporate changes and long-term green card planning. \nDavid concluded the session with a Q&A\, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions and gain personalized insights. \nFor your convenience\, you may access the recording here. \n*This webinar is offering SHRM Professional Development Credit.

SUMMARY:Key Business Immigration Updates and Planning: Top Changes from 2025 and What’s Ahead in 2026
DESCRIPTION:2025 was unlike any other year in the history of immigration in the U.S. While the initial focus was on detention and removal of undocumented populations\, the focus shifted in key ways. From major policy changes during the first year of the Trump administration’s return to office to new discussions about potential H-1B filing fees and wage-leveling changes\, 2025 brought no shortage of developments that impacted employers and foreign talent alike. While much of what we do remained unchanged\, the implications became increasingly important. \nIn this session\, Managing Partner David Zaritzky Brown reviewed the key changes we saw throughout the year and provided insights into what may be ahead for 2026. He discussed what was known and what was still in motion regarding proposals such as a possible $100\,000 H-1B fee and wage-leveling requirements for cap cases\, along with other emerging trends shaping business immigration. For attendees seeking a concise recap of important policy issues while also looking forward\, this session offered the information needed to plan for 2026. \nAs always\, David concluded with an open Q&A\, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions about what may be coming next. \nFor your convenience\, you may access the recording here. \n*This webinar was offering SHRM Professional Development Credit. You had to attend live to obtain SHRM Credit.

SUMMARY:Cap Exempt H-1B Roundup - Key Strategies for Avoiding $100k and Other Updates
DESCRIPTION:The Proclamation\, signed on September 19\, 2025\, continues to have a significant impact on Cap-exempt institutions when hiring key foreign-born employees. University\, public\, and private school budgets generally cannot support the $100k per-use H-1B filing fee\, which in many cases has halted the hiring of essential talent. In light of this unprecedented change\, it is crucial that all schools have a clear plan. \nDavid Zaritzky Brown\, Managing Partner of Brown Immigration Law\, drew on his 28 years of business immigration law experience to outline strategies for avoiding the fee\, including building a pipeline of alternative visa options and implementing hiring approaches that bypass the $100k payment. While the Proclamation itself complicates matters\, David also provided updates on the status of litigation and the likelihood of its success. \nThis free\, SHRM-certified learning program was designed to help universities\, schools\, and other Cap-exempt employers chart a path forward despite the current and likely temporary $100k fee. Even if a federal court were to enjoin the fee before the program aired\, David still guided participants on next steps\, noting that early litigation might offer limited relief from the immediate impacts. \nAs with all webinars\, David reserved extra time at the end of the session to answer questions. Given the sensitivity of this topic\, attendees were able to participate in an extended Q&A to address their specific concerns. \nFor your convenience\, you may access the recording here. \n*This webinar was offering SHRM Professional Development Credit.
