Immigration in a Biden Administration: What To Expect.
December 3, 2020 at 12:00 pm EST
Thursday, December 3, 2020
12:00 pm-1:00 pm
A new administration is about to take over and it will have an opportunity to enact significant changes to U.S. immigration policy. Join Immigration Attorney, Mo Syed, for a discussion of the possible immigration landscape post January 2021. You will learn about the forecast for practice and policy in immigration/visa categories such as business, employment, investment, family and other matters. Will immigration policy reflect the true American values of being a welcoming society or will it remain based on fear of the other?
Topics will include:
- Will there be better management of COVID-19 related challenges – embassy closures and processing within the United States?
- Revocation of proclamations including Muslim Ban and Ban on Asylum.
- Revocation of the bans on H-1B, L, J1 visas and immigrant visa petitions.
- Any more midnight rulemaking by outgoing administration – prevailing wage hike in H1B and PERM green card cases.
- Litigation including DACA, TPS and Public Charge Rule.
- The Biden administration has promised a Legalization Bill in first 100 days – how will control of Senate impact this.
- Will there be a shift away from detention and deportation and increased staff allocation to processing benefits?
