political, economic, and social factors, and we expect this trend to continue. However, the events of recent years – particularly in the U.S. following the 2016 election – highlight how quickly the landscape can change. Businesses experienced unprecedented challenges, with the immigration system becoming increasingly restrictive, marred by convoluted processes and a surge in Requests for Evidence (RFEs).

This could mean further tightening of eligibility criteria, additional scrutiny in visa adjudications, and shifting priorities in immigration enforcement. For example, discussions around H-1B visa reforms, changes to employment-based green cards, and restrictions on work authorisations for dependents signal that businesses must stay vigilant.
