PERM Disrupted? H-1B Expiring? Understanding Your U.S. Immigration Options
Recent Immigration Changes: What Workers, Founders, and Employers Need to Know
Immigration policy changes can leave even well-prepared professionals wondering what comes next. Join the Law Office of Zhang for a practical overview of recent PERM restrictions, employment-based immigration options, and questions workers, founders, and employers should consider.
Our goal is to help you understand the landscape and identify the right questions to ask about your circumstances.
If you are working toward a green card, building a company in the United States, or sponsoring international talent, changes in immigration policy can raise difficult questions about your next steps.
On October 8, 2026, the Trump administration announced the suspension of new and pending PERM labor-certification applications involving Microsoft, Adobe, and six major IT services companies. The administration also announced investigations into nine universities over alleged misuse of exchange-visitor visa programs.
For people navigating these systems, the uncertainty can be deeply personal. You may be wondering how the announcement affects an existing application, whether another immigration pathway could be appropriate, or what you should discuss with your employer or immigration attorney before making a decision.
The Law Office of Zhang is hosting an educational webinar to help you understand the developments, ask informed questions, and learn about potential next steps.

Who should attend?
This webinar is intended for international professionals pursuing U.S. permanent residence, founders and entrepreneurs, employers sponsoring foreign talent, and anyone seeking a clearer understanding of recent employment-based immigration developments.
