Developing immigration enforcement priorities require education institutions to develop or evolve their practices. Educational institutions face the unique challenge of being an employer, a school and even a law enforcement agency. From managing visa-dependent employees to working with students who have immigration processes themselves, institutions need to understand their compliance obligations and risks.
Join us for a timely webcast where a panel of immigration and compliance professionals will explore the shifting enforcement landscape, outline what institutions need to be aware of and share actionable steps to help your campus stay prepared.
What You’ll Learn
This session will provide up-to-date, practical guidance on key areas impacting schools, colleges and universities including:
- Institutional Readiness: What your institution should have in place for immigration-related compliance reviews, including documentation for employees and their dependents on visas.

- DHS Site Visits: What to expect during Department of Homeland Security inspections and how to train your team to respond confidently and appropriately.
- Work Visa Rules: Understanding Labor Condition Application (LCA) requirements and employer responsibilities when sponsoring faculty and staff.
