We are back with a new Warner Employment News from the Law Shanty video featuring Steve Palazzolo and Sarah Bileti, Warner’s new immigration senior counsel. Today, Steve and Sarah explore B1/B2 visitor visas, discussing their limitations and appropriate use for entry into the U.S. by foreign workers. While these visas are widely used, they restrict the activities foreign workers can engage in while in the U.S. and may become problematic if misused. To avoid these complications for foreign nationals coming to the U.S. to perform productive work, Sarah and Steve discuss other options employers can pursue including intermittent L visas — something Sarah and Warner’s immigration team frequently assist clients with securing.
Steve and Sarah also cover the key aspects of the hiring process for foreign workers, including the permissible and impermissible questions that may be asked regarding immigration status. Sarah outlines the key dos and don’ts, explaining how she supports employers in minimizing liability when hiring foreign employees.
