Staying up to date with the ever-changing state of international immigration is vital to navigating your career in a post-COVID 19 landscape. From travel restrictions to office closings, presidential proclamations to changes in processing times, D’Alessio Law Group CEO and Managing Attorney Lorraine D’Alessio will help business professionals understand the issues they face when pursuing a U.S. visa or green card throughout these times. Whether you’re planning on coming to or staying in the United States for a limited or long-term basis, understanding which visa options will best serve your interests in the United States is an important first step for following through on your goals.

Lorraine will discuss a number of trends we are seeing at the consulate level, dependable visa options and alternatives for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and tech professionals, exceptions and flexibility in petitions outlined by USCIS, travel restrictions and border closings, and tips for making the visa process as smooth as possible given the current climate. Following an in-depth discussion on these tips and trends, Lorraine will additionally host a Q&A session to discuss solutions for professionals facing challenges in the visa process.
