Recent executive action will allow millions of undocumented immigrants to apply for work authorization and remain in the US temporarily.  This action also means changes to employment-based immigration procedures and policies are possible. Find out how these measures will impact your business and employees, without even leaving your desk! 

The webinar will include a power point presentation that can be used as a resource, and will be presented and moderated by three experienced immigration lawyers, who will cover:

  • What does “deferred action” for individuals who are currently undocumented mean for the employers where they are currently working?
  • What improvements relating to high-skilled legal immigration might result from future agency actions?
