Technology
Start with the rapidly changing demographics of the high-tech workforce. Add the unpredictable churn of national immigration politics. Stir in disruption caused by a global health crisis.
What do you have? The most difficult mobility environment in the history of the technology industry.
An effective mobile workforce is part of any tech company’s DNA. And now more than ever, smart, business-savvy immigration guidance is key to its future.
Through a unique global perspective, Fragomen is intimately familiar with the forces roiling the global technology industry, from the emergence of India and China as epochal sources of technical talent to a new multi-jurisdictional, global approach to employee placement no longer centered primarily on the United States.
We work tirelessly to create practical solutions for our clients. Solutions that help manage an unpredictable and often frustrating mobility environment—and identify and develop new opportunities and relationships as well.
Clients rely on us for our:
Global perspective
The vagaries of politics, combined with the severe travel restrictions provoked by COVID-19, have inspired companies to seek immigration-friendly opportunities outside of the United States, especially in the European, Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asia markets.
As a global service provider, Fragomen assists companies with immigration needs that cross every conceivable combination of markets and jurisdictions; in the process, we transform immigration from a fact of life into a valued component of global business strategy.
Solution-driven mindset
Creativity and flexibility are the order of the day as COVID continues to wreak havoc on world travel. Technology companies need an immigration partner that can roll with the punches and offer workable alternatives alongside standard solutions. Our up-to-the-second understanding of worldwide COVID travel restrictions is unparalleled.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Fragomen has identified effective strategies to improve successful outcomes, including critical company and national interest exemptions, “green channel” exemptions in China, and remote work provisions. We also help clients match employees who are unable to remain in the United States with placement in alternative jurisdictions until a new visa or other arrangements can be secured.
