While the COVID-19 national emergency has resulted in unprecedented changes in the overall business landscape, there are particular considerations for U.S employers with foreign national employees. In addition to the issues arising from a company’s business and workforce disruptions, employers must navigate the significant service disruptions and policy changes across all of the federal agencies involved in the administration of the U.S. immigration system.

The information and guidance below is intended to address the immigration-related changes most significant to U.S. employers. This guidance is organized by federal agency and applies only to U.S. immigration law. As the situation evolves, we will continue to update our guidance accordingly. Given the fluidity of the situation, please reach out to a member of the Sidley Immigration Team with questions regarding specific situations.
