Beth Carlson Speaks with SHRM on Employment-Based Immigration Matters in Light of COVID-19
Beth Carlson provided insight to SHRM about immigration issues facing U.S. employers and their respective, foreign national workers during the coronavirus outbreak.
"Guest workers who may have been planning to come to the U.S. on an L-1 visa or other type of work visa may need to push back their position and relocation to the U.S. until a future start date," Carlson said.
The coronavirus raises a host of difficult immigration issues for U.S. businesses, including: the status of H-1B visa holders and international students, obtaining I-9 verification for new employees, and travel restrictions that limit mobility for international personnel.
