Whether you're inheriting an immigration program from someone else at your company, or your company is standing up sponsorship for the first time, the challenge is the same: a lot of unfamiliar decisions, deadlines, and stakeholders, often with no playbook to follow. This session gives you one — the questions to ask a law firm, the red flags to watch for early, and how to build a program that holds up as you grow.

​The EB-2 National Interest Waiver remains one of the most accessible self-petition Green Card options — but adjudication patterns are shifting, and what makes a petition compelling in 2026 is worth understanding clearly before you file. This webinar covers both who qualifies and how to build a case that holds up. ​In this session, Manifest immigration attorney and former USCIS officer Evan Law walks through the NIW standard in depth, with a focus on strategy and what's working in the current adjudication environment.

​The O-1B visa is designed specifically for artists, performers, and creatives who have reached a level of distinction in their field — but what that actually means under USCIS standards, and how to build a case that demonstrates it, isn't always obvious. This session breaks it down clearly.

On August 5, 2026, USCIS published a new policy memo about requests for evidence (RFEs) and notices of intent to deny (NOIDs), reminding officers that they have discretion to deny an application that is missing initial required evidence. USCIS has always had this discretion and the guidance does not change the law, but officers may still issue an RFE or NOID when they need additional evidence to decide a case. Jeff Joseph, President of Immigration Strategy at Manifest Law and 79th President of AILA, covers what counts as required initial evidence, the shortened response deadlines, and what the memo means for F-1 students, employment-based petitions, and adjustment of status.

If you're an HR or mobility manager, it's not always easy to tell whether your immigration counsel is up to par. That is, until a denial, a missed deadline, or a botched audit. ​And corporate immigration has changed. Adjudication trends, RFE patterns, compliance scrutiny, and technology expectations look nothing like they did five years ago. The best attorney-client relationships are built on the right questions, and most companies were never taught what to ask. ​This session gives you exactly that: the five questions that reveal whether your immigration program is in good hands, and what strong answers sound like.
