The H-1B program is at the center of rapid regulatory change, requiring employers to translate evolving policies into practical workforce strategies. With new presidential proclamations, a proposed overhaul of the H-1B cap lottery and forthcoming regulations that could affect the flow of global talent, organizations face uncertainty in planning for hiring, retention and compliance.
This webcast will examine key developments shaping talent strategies, highlight the implications for global mobility and legal teams and provide guidance to help your organization remain agile, compliant and competitive in today’s evolving immigration landscape.
Topics will include:
1. Impact of the New Presidential Proclamation on H-1Bs
- What it means for employers, employees and workforce readiness.
2. The Administration’s Proposal to Revamp the Annual H-1B Cap Lottery
- How the proposed weighted lottery system could reshape hiring and long-term planning.
- The public comment period will close on October 24, 2025, creating a short window for advocacy before the rule is finalized.
- Practical guidance on effective advocacy through public comments and impact of potential challenges to H-1B proposed rule.
3. Forthcoming Regulations That Could Affect the Talent Pipeline
- Anticipated rules and compliance considerations that will directly impact workforce strategy.
