The upcoming H-1B cap season marks a clear shift from procedural planning to strategic decision-making. With new selection mechanics taking effect, active litigation affecting cost structures, and compressed regulatory timelines, experienced immigration teams are facing a materially different planning environment.
Who should attend?
This session is designed for immigration and mobility professionals who already understand cap mechanics and are looking to pressure-test their approach in a year where prior playbooks may no longer hold.
What we’ll cover
We will examine how recent regulatory changes from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and evolving legal challenges reported by Reuters are reshaping how employers think about selection strategy, internal prioritization, and risk management often well before registration opens.
Rather than focusing on how to file, this discussion centers on how to decide: what decisions matter earlier than teams expect, where judgment calls are becoming harder to reverse, and how to navigate uncertainty without over- or under-reacting.
