Business changes, rising wages, rapid promotion, hybrid work locations, and cross-functional roles coupled with slow processing times can result in a substantial difference between an employee’s PERM job description and the role they are expected to fill when it’s time to file the I-140 visa petition and I-485 adjustment of status application. Join our panel of experts for an advanced-level discussion about strategically advising clients on the legal and ethical issues that these unanticipated changes can trigger.

Featured Topics:

  • What changes are too substantial to support an I-140 filing?
  • When must you file a new PERM application?
  • Can an I-140 petition be filed to preserve the priority date even if the job has substantially changed?
  • What key ethical issues may arise between the attorney, client(s), and stakeholders?
