As immigration enforcement intensifies, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Project Firewall has emerged as a key driver of increased H-1B scrutiny. With expanded audit activity and deeper investigations on the horizon, employers across industries must be prepared for heightened oversight and new compliance expectations.

Join us for an essential webcast that explores what Project Firewall means for your organization and how to stay ahead of enforcement risk in a rapidly evolving environment.

During this session, we will cover:

  • Project Firewall’s parameters and what Secretary-certified investigations could mean for your business
  • Key implications for employers including an increase in Labor Condition Application (LCA) audits and investigations
  • Potential penalties and recent enforcement trends
  • Place Project Firewall in context with broader H-1B policy changes and the shifting compliance landscape
  • Share practical and actionable strategies to strengthen compliance programs and minimize operational disruption

Why You Should Attend
Project Firewall signals a major shift in how the Department of Labor approaches H-1B enforcement. Employers that understand the program’s scope and prepare early will be best positioned to respond to audits, avoid costly disruptions and maintain workforce continuity. This session will provide the insights and tools you need to protect your organization.

Who Should Attend

 HR leaders, mobility and compliance professionals, in-house counsel and business stakeholders seeking to mitigate risk and ensure H-1B program integrity.
