As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Hector Chichioni, a partner at Duane Morris, warns employers and visa or green card holders to anticipate changes to U.S. immigration law. Regardless of the election’s outcome, there is strong momentum for reform, particularly in business-based immigration, as the current system lacks the flexibility to support a competitive global economy. Chichioni highlights that a comprehensive overhaul of the Immigration and Nationality Act is long overdue, with reforms expected regardless of political shifts. To prepare, Chichioni offers five key recommendations: conducting internal audits to ensure compliance with immigration laws, updating technology to handle immigration workflows, investing in continuous training for HR teams, fostering collaboration within the industry, and building a flexible administrative structure. These steps can help companies navigate the evolving legal landscape while safeguarding their business interests. “Employers who prepare now—by auditing their compliance, updating systems, training key staff, and fostering collaboration—will be better positioned to navigate the uncertainty and seize opportunities for growth,” Chichioni advises. He stresses that proactive preparation is crucial as changes in U.S. immigration policy are inevitable, and companies that adapt quickly will thrive in the new landscape.
