Summer Travel Considerations for Foreign Nationals

In this episode of The Immigration Conversation, Senior Associates Kimberly Elmazi and Sarah Melnick discuss key considerations for foreign nationals planning international travel this summer, including preparation before departure, visa appointment planning and what to expect when returning to the United States.

The conversation covers several issues foreign nationals, employers, HR teams and global mobility teams should keep in mind, including travel restrictions, consular appointment requirements, administrative processing risks, document preparation, social media screening, visa interview questions, passport return timelines and port-of-entry procedures.

Kimberly and Sarah also highlight the importance of checking visa stamps and I-94 records for accuracy, carrying required documents when traveling and consulting immigration counsel before finalizing international travel plans, particularly when visa renewal or work authorization considerations are involved.
