SUMMARY:2025 AILA Hot Topics and Survival Skills Conference
DESCRIPTION:This intermediate to advanced-level conference is designed to equip immigration practitioners with the tools to navigate the challenges of the second Trump Administration. The sessions will delve into the first six weeks of the administration’s actions and plans under Project 2025, alongside the rhetoric shaping these policies, while also drawing key lessons from the previous Trump Administration. The program will provide valuable insights into the real-time impact of these changes at federal agencies, the border, and consular posts, and offer strategies for combating restrictive policies. Practical tips will also be shared for adapting and strengthening your practice during these turbulent times. Leading experts will break down the crucial information you need to know to sustain and grow your practice.\nYelena Vilk will be a panelist at The “Modernized” H-2 Programs: Navigating an Evolving Landscape on Tuesday, March 4, 2025 from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm. As visa availability changes or becomes more limited under the new administration, attorneys should consider the H-2 programs as an alternative option for their clients. Our expert panelists will provide a fundamental overview of the H-2 programs, including employer compliance obligations. In addition, they will offer expert tips about how to navigate the complex maze of H-2A and H-2B visa regulations and unravel the DOL and USCIS rules.\n\nIntroduction to H-2s: What are you so afraid of?\nCreative H-2B strategies: “not your grandma’s” H-2B\nState of the law: updates on USCIS and DOL rules and litigation\nCompliance obligations under the H-2 programs: Is your client’s “house”\nin order?\nTemporary to PERM: navigating immigrant intent\n\n \nFaculty:\nLeonard “L.J.” D’Arrigo (DL), AILA DOL Liaison Committee, Conference Program\nCommittee, Albany, NY\nEdward R.
