TN visas have no cap and no lottery. Join us to learn how to hire AI and engineering talent from Mexico, what it costs, and how long it takes.

Netflix’s culture is one of the most copied and least understood in business. Talent density, top-of-market pay, freedom and responsibility — the deck went viral, but the operating work behind it rarely gets discussed. Jessica Neal spent 12 years building that talent function, ending as Chief Talent Officer, through Netflix’s rise from DVD-by-mail to global streaming. Now an operating partner at TCV, she also co-hosts the TruthWorks podcast with Patty McCord, where she has interviewed more than 100 guests, including CEOs, founders, and chief people officers. On Sept. 15 at 1 p.m. eastern, she joins Jeff Joseph, President of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and President of Immigration Strategy at Manifest Law, for an inside look at how the function was built — what hiring the best person for every role actually demanded, and how to talk to your own CFO, CHRO, and CEO about the programs that make it possible.

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.

​Building a real exposure model across your H-1B and PERM population used be something that would take weeks of attorney and analyst time. New AI tools can make it much easier. In Session 2 of our prevailing wage series, immigration attorney and AI Legal Architect Nicole Gunara walks HR and finance teams through how to use them.

​A new DOL rule could increase your H-1B and green card sponsorship costs by as much as 20–33%. ​The rule is currently in the federal notice-and-comment period, which means the specifics may still shift. But the time for employers to prepare — and act — is now.
