Tuesday, May 26, 2026

Location: OCCC, W205A
This session explores wage compliance at both the non-immigrant and immigrant stages.

Learning Objectives:

  • Analyze the legal significance of wage compliance in both non-immigrant and immigrant visa processes.
  • Identify key regulatory bodies (DOL, USCIS) and their roles in wage compliance.
  • Evaluate institutional best practices for wage compliance and assess potential risks.
  • Anticipate the impact of recent and proposed legislative changes on wage analysis and hiring decisions.
