Over the past 18 months, U.S. immigration policy has continued to move toward:

📌 Higher adjudication scrutiny
📌 Expanded compliance enforcement across adjudicatory processes
📌 Greater discretion in decision-making

The practical impact is not only increased procedural complexity, but a more structural shift in how employers assess risk, design hiring pathways, and manage cross-border mobility within global workforce planning.

Against this backdrop, the AILA Annual Conference provides a forum for immigration practitioners to examine how evolving policy direction is translating into operational constraints and decision-making considerations for employers and individuals navigating the U.S. immigration system.

🎉 We are pleased to share that Matthew Kolodziej, Immigration Partner at our firm, will be speaking on the Business Immigration Track alongside fellow practitioners on:

“Made in America”: Increasing U.S. Immigration

The discussion will focus on how evolving trade dynamics and manufacturing realignment are influencing the structure of international business operations, and how employers are adapting cross-border mobility strategies and talent deployment in response to these broader shifts.

From a small group to 40+ across teams.

Small teams move fast.
Larger teams build things that last.

We’re learning how to do both.

🇰🇷Korea, that’s a wrap!

What started as a quick trip in late March turned into something much bigger: packed rooms, real conversations, and strong momentum on the ground.

We showed up, stood out, and made the right connections.

And it’s already translating into results. New opportunities are in motion, and our first client from the trip is already onboarded.

This is how expansion starts. Fast, focused, and with intent.

More to come.

올해 H-1B 등록이 다가오고 있습니다.

이번 연도는 100달러의 등록 수수료 도입과 더불어, 고용주의 스폰서 결정 방식 등 여러 요소가 함께 작용하는 시기입니다. 이러한 변화로 인해 전체 등록 건수가 지난해와 비슷할 수도 있고, 다소 감소할 가능성도 있습니다. 다만, 등록 마감까지는 여전히 상당한 불확실성이 존재합니다.

임금 수준 기반 선택 방식이 적용되면서, 상대적으로 높은 임금 수준이 선별 과정에서 유리하게 작용할 가능성도 있습니다. 그러나 최종 결과는 전체 등록 수와 임금 분포에 따라 달라질 것입니다.

이러한 상황을 고려할 때, 하나의 전략에만 의존하기보다는 보다 폭넓은 이민 계획을 함께 검토하는 것이 중요합니다.

이번 영상에서는 주요 고려 사항과 함께 검토해볼 수 있는 대안적 경로에 대해 설명드립니다.

L’immigration aux États-Unis est un sujet fréquemment mal compris. Il ne s’agit pas seulement de remplir des formulaires: c’est une question de stratégie.

As the 2026 Winter Olympics celebrate dedication, skill, and the pursuit of excellence, we are reminded that extraordinary achievement takes time, passion, and focus.

The O-1 visa opens a path for individuals in any field, including athletics, arts, science, or business, whose work stands out for its impact and promise. While other temporary visas, such as the P-1, exist for standard competitions, the O-1 provides a pathway to bring that talent to the U.S.

Whether you are rising in your field or already established, we help guide exceptional talent toward opportunities in the U.S.

Curious about your chances for an O-1 visa? DM us for evaluation.

An internal Department of Homeland Security memo has instructed ICE agents that they may enter private homes to make immigration arrests using ICE-issued administrative warrants, rather than warrants signed by a federal judge.

At the same time, recent ICE-related enforcement incidents in Minnesota, resulting in serious injury and loss of life, have intensified concerns about safety during enforcement encounters.

While these situations are evolving, one thing is clear: When faced with a possible ICE audit, raid, or enforcement action, it’s essential to be informed and ready.

From Broadway to comedy clubs, New York City inspires creativity. Our client, a celebrated comedian, is among those making waves here.

That said, securing O-1B approval presented two major challenges:

1️⃣ Application submitted through a personal agent rather than a company.

2️⃣ Limited U.S.-based performances or work history.

To address these challenges, we clearly explained the agent-artist relationship, allowing USCIS to approve the petition without issuing an RFE. We demonstrated how the client’s extraordinary achievements would continue in the U.S. by highlighting their international performances and planned collaborations with top U.S. comedians and included strong letters of recommendation from industry authorities to further support the case.

💡 Key Takeaway: While USCIS historically focused mainly on past achievements, in the performing arts they may consider whether an applicant’s extraordinary ability will continue in the U.S. O-1B success depends on telling a compelling career story that links proven accomplishments to a clear plan for future contributions.

JLG Flags Risks Related to Territorial Sovereignty and Congressional Plenary Power

JLG recently undertook targeted issue monitoring and market outreach in connection with Dinh v. United States, a closely watched challenge arising from Puerto Rico’s debt restructuring under PROMESA and now being reviewed for certiorari before the U.S. Supreme Court.

As part of this effort, the firm alerted bond-market participants, including bond rating agencies and municipal bond insurance companies, on the broader implications of the case for investor priority, contractual expectations and risk allocation.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to consider the bondholders’ petition for certiorari on January 9, with a decision on whether the case will be accepted for review expected as part of the Court’s January 12 orders list.

Unlike municipal securities issued in the U.S. that enjoy protection under the Contract and Takings Clauses of the U.S. Constitution, the bonds in question were issued by Puerto Rico, a U. S. territory, that potentially subjects them to the plenary power of the U.S. Congress.

Unless reversed as unconstitutional, Congress will have the power to enact legislation (similar to PROMESA) that retroactively subordinates, impairs, or extinguishes statutory liens and security interests pledged to bondholders, without just compensation as is required for investments in the U.S.

The Dinh case raises broader questions about how Congress may respond to systemic crises through custom statutory frameworks and what that could mean for how private rights are treated when markets fail.

JLG welcomes conversations with institutions and operators navigating these evolving frameworks.

Gotham Organization is planning a 157 unit, five story mixed use development next to the Westbury Long Island Rail Road station, advancing a transit oriented project awarded by the MTA earlier this year:

✅ 157 residential units, including 10% income restricted
✅ 15,000 sq ft of retail space and a public plaza
✅ Amenities like working space, fitness center, roof terrace, and multisport simulator
✅ $100M development on a former MTA parking lot under a 99-year lease starting at $500K/year, with rent rising 12.5% every five years

The project reflects the MTA’s push to unlock underused transit assets while supporting commuter-focused housing and neighborhood amenities. Gotham anticipates submitting applications soon, with construction expected to start in 2027.
