WHD Releases Info on ‘Project Firewall’ Enforcement Initiative to Maximize Compliance with H-1B Visa Program
The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) recently released an announcement and a flyer on “Project Firewall,” a WHD “enforcement initiative to protect highly skilled U.S. workers and maximize compliance with the H-1B visa program.”
The announcement notes that WHD prioritizes investigations where employers may be displacing U.S. workers, failing to recruit U.S. workers in good faith, giving preference to H-1B workers when qualified U.S. workers are available, retaliating against workers who raise concerns about employers’ noncompliance, or misrepresenting job duties, requirements, or working conditions.
The flyer includes the following reminders about legal protections for U.S. workers under the H-1B program.
All H-1B employers:
- MUST provide notice of the Labor Condition Application to relevant U.S. workers on or before the date of filing.
- MUST NOT intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, discharge, or discriminate in any other manner against a U.S. worker or applicant who has exercised whistleblower rights under the program.
- MUST NOT employ an H-1B worker at a worksite where a strike/lockout in their occupational classification is in progress.
- MUST NOT employ H-1B workers in such a way that the working conditions (e.g., hours, shifts, vacation periods, and seniority-based preferences) of its similarly employed U.S. workers are adversely affected.
- MUST NOT undercut U.S. worker wages by paying H-1B workers less than an applicable collectively bargained wage, a statistically derived prevailing wage, or the wage it pays to U.S. workers with the same job and with similar experience and qualifications.
- MUST NOT undercut U.S. worker benefits by offering H-1B workers fewer benefits than U.S. workers.
H-1B dependent employers and willful violators who employ nonexempt H-1B workers:
- MUST take good faith steps to recruit U.S. workers for the offered job.
- MUST offer the job to an equally or better-qualified U.S. worker before hiring an H-1B worker.
- MUST NOT lay off or displace the U.S. worker from a job that is essentially equivalent to the job for which the H-1B worker is sought.
USCIS Releases Guidance on ‘Hold and Release’ Policies and Procedures
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has released memoranda on “hold and release” policies and procedures for all pending asylum applications, USCIS benefit applications filed by individuals from “high-risk” countries, and Diversity Visa adjustment-of-status applications. The memoranda include:
- Hold and Release of All Pending Asylum Applications and All USCIS Benefit Applications Filed by Aliens From High-Risk Countries (PM-602-0194). This guidance outlines the adjudicative hold, procedural requirements, and processes for the re-review, interview, or re-interview of affected individuals. The memo specifies which cases are subject to the adjudicative hold, identifies exemptions, and outlines the factors to consider when assessing benefit eligibility during the re-review, interview, or re-interview of affected individuals. USCIS personnel are instructed to prioritize national security and public safety concerns and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations during the adjudication process.
- Hold and Release of Pending USCIS Adjustment of Status Applications Filed by Aliens Under the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. This directive mandates that all persons with pending adjustment of status, ancillary benefits, and waiver applications meeting certain criteria undergo a thorough review process, including an interview for the Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I-485) and, if necessary, a re-interview, to fully assess all national security, criminal, and related grounds of inadmissibility and deportation.
February Visa Bulletin Notes: Imminent Expiration of ‘Certain Religious Workers’ Category
The Department of State’s Visa Bulletin for February 2026 notes that the Employment-Based Fourth Preference Certain Religious Workers (SR) category is scheduled to expire on January 30, 2026.
The bulletin states that the SR category is listed as “Unavailable” for all countries for February. If legislative action extends the category, “it is likely it will become available effective immediately. If extended, the category will be subject to the same dates for filing and final action dates as the other Employment Fourth Preference categories per applicable foreign state of chargeability,” the bulletin notes.
EOIR Raises Fees for Immigration-Related Filings
On January 21, 2026, the Department of Justice announced “inflationary adjustments” to immigration-related fees for filings with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) for Fiscal Year 2026.
The new fees are effective February 1, 2026. Any filing with an Immigration Court or the Board of Immigration Appeals postmarked on or after February 1, 2026, without the proper filing fee or an applicable request for fee waiver will be rejected.
As examples, the OBBBA fee for Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, will increase from $1,500 to $1,540 (with FY 2026 EOIR total fees of $2,980).
DHS Increases Self-Deportation ‘Exit Bonus’
On January 21, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it has temporarily increased the “exit bonus” for self-deportation through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Home app from $1,000 to $2,600, in addition to a free flight home.
DHS said that since January 2025, 2.2 million people have voluntarily self-deported and “tens of thousands” have used the CBP Home app. DHS noted that using the CBP Home app “also qualifies recipients for forgiveness of any civil fines or penalties for failing to depart the country.”
It is unclear how long the increase will be in effect. The announcement said it “may not last long.”
DOS Announces Temporary Pause on Certain Visas for Nationals of 75 Countries
On January 14, 2026, the Department of State (DOS) announced a temporary pause on the issuance of immigrant visas (green cards from overseas) for nationals of 75 countries, effective January 21, 2026. DOS said this pause is for the government to review how immigrant visa applicants are evaluated under the “public charge” rules. In announcing this review, the government has indicated it wants stricter standards to prevent new immigrants from receiving any public support.
This policy applies only to immigrant visas (green card processing through a U.S. embassy or consulate) for applicants who are:
- Nationals of one of the 75 countries identified by DOS, and
- Applying for an immigrant visa abroad (not adjustment of status in the United States).
The affected countries include Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominica, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Fiji, The Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyz Republic, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Pakistan, Republic of the Congo, Russia, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, and Yemen.
Applicants from these countries may attend their visa interviews, but their immigrant visas will not be issued for the time being, unless a limited exception applies. A dual national applying with a valid passport of a country that is not listed above is exempt from this pause. No immigrant visas have been revoked as part of this guidance.
Harvard Hits High for Foreign Student Enrollment Despite Battles With Trump Administration
According to reports, Harvard University’s international student enrollment hit a high of 6,749 students in the fall of 2025, which is nearly 28 percent of the total number of students studying at Harvard and is the highest recorded share since at least 2002. The increase is due at least partly to graduate student enrollment; undergraduate international student enrollment has been declining. This was despite the university’s battles with the Trump administration over funding cuts, vetting, and admission of foreign students.
According to Bloomberg Law, foreign graduate student enrollment at U.S. universities declined by 1.4% in the fall 2025 term. The number of foreign students across the U.S. dropped by close to 5,000 even as the overall number of students grew by 1%, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. Harvard’s share of students from India (545) dropped by about 31 percent in the fall of 2025. The largest group of international students at Harvard are Chinese.
DHS to Raise Premium Processing Fees
On January 9, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security announced that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is raising premium processing fees effective March 1, 2026. Those submitting a request for premium processing postmarked on or after that date must include the new fee.
Please consult the new fee schedule below:
| Form | Previous Fee | New Fee |
| Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, H-2B or R-1 nonimmigrant status | $1,685 | $1,780 |

| Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, employment-based classifications: E11, E12, E13 E21 (NIW and non-NIW) E31, E32 EW3 | $2,805 | $2,965 |

DOS Adds Countries Subject to Visa Bonds and Expands Ports of Entry
The Department of State (DOS) has identified nationals from a list of countries as needing visa bonds. Any citizen or national traveling on a passport issued by one of these countries, who is found otherwise eligible for a B1/B2 visa, must post a bond for either $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000. The amount is determined at the time of the visa interview.
All visa holders who have posted a visa bond must enter and exit the United States through one of the designated ports of entry listed below. Failure to do so might lead to a denied entry or a departure that is not properly recorded, DOS said. The earliest date on which a visa holder who posted a visa bond may enter or exit at each port of entry is in parentheses. Additional designated ports of entry will be added on a rolling basis:
- Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) (August 20, 2025)
- John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) (August 20, 2025)
- Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) (August 20, 2025)
- Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) (January 1, 2026)
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) (January 1, 2026)
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) (January 1, 2026)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (January 1, 2026)
- Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) (January 1, 2026)
- Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) (January 1, 2026)
The applicant must also submit a Form I-352 with the Department of Homeland Security. Applicants must agree to the terms of the bond through the Department of the Treasury’s online payment platform Pay.gov. This requirement applies regardless of place of application, DOS said. Applicants should submit Form I-352 to post a bond only after a consular officer directs them to do so. Applicants will receive a direct payment link through Pay.gov. They must not use any third-party website for posting the bond, according to DOS. their stated employment, resume, immigration history, online presence, and any potential security-related indicators.
District Court Rules Against Plaintiffs in $100,000 H-1B Fee Lawsuit
In Chamber of Commerce v. Department of Homeland Security, a district court has ruled in favor of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), finding that imposition of a $100,000 fee for new H-1B applications and related actions were legal under a Presidential Proclamation. “Defendants have the stronger position,” U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said. “The lawfulness of the Proclamation and its implementation rests on a straightforward reading of congressional statutes giving the President broad authority to regulate entry into the United States for immigrants and nonimmigrants alike.”
Judge Howell noted, “To be clear, this decision in favor of defendants is not to dismiss or discount the past and ongoing contributions of H-1B workers to the American economy that plaintiffs highlight. Important as those contributions may be, the effects of the H-1B program on the American economy or national security, whether positive or negative, are simply not at issue in this case. The Supreme Court has long maintained that matters of economic and foreign policy are generally entrusted to the political branches of government and ‘rarely proper subjects for judicial intervention.'”

India / New Zealand: New Free Trade Agreement Expands New Zealand’s Access to Indian Talent
India and New Zealand have concluded negotiations on a landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that strengthens economic ties while creating new opportunities for talent mobility between the two countries. The agreement is designed to boost trade, investment, and people-to-people connections, with workforce access emerging as a key priority.
A central feature of the FTA is its focus on skilled mobility, addressing New Zealand’s labor shortages in priority sectors. The agreement establishes frameworks for temporary work pathways for Indian professionals, as well as enhanced student and post-study work opportunities, supporting smoother transitions from education to employment.
For New Zealand, increased access to India’s highly skilled workforce is expected to support economic growth and innovation. For India, the agreement opens pathways for Indian professionals and students to live, work, and study in New Zealand. Following domestic approval processes, the FTA is expected to enter into force in the near future. Once implemented, the agreement will mark a significant step forward in bilateral cooperation – positioning trade and talent mobility as shared drivers of long-term economic partnership.
Indonesia: Launch of New Golden Visa Program
Indonesia has rolled out a new Golden Visa program offering extended residency options to foreign investors who commit significant capital to the country.
Indonesia has formally launched a Golden Visa initiative designed to bolster foreign capital inflows and strengthen its economic positioning in Southeast Asia. The policy establishes a pathway to long-term residency for individuals who make qualifying investments, with permits available for five or ten years, depending on the level and type of capital deployed. Investment options include creating a local business with a substantial financial commitment, investing in government bonds or other financial instruments, and higher thresholds tied to corporate investor participation. Once granted, the Golden Visa allows holders to live and work in Indonesia without the need for additional authorizations that typical short-term visas require. This shift represents part of broader immigration reforms that seek to streamline access for high-value contributors and align Indonesia’s residency offerings with competing regional frameworks. By opening doors to global investors, the initiative is expected to drive job creation, technology exchange, and deeper integration into the global investment ecosystem.

Singapore: Employment Permit Criteria Updated
Taiwan has introduced a new Digital Nomad Visa to allow eligible foreign nationals to live in Taiwan while working remotely for employers or clients based outside the country.
The Digital Nomad Visa is intended for professionals who perform their work remotely and are not entering the local labor market. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements, including proof of overseas employment or self-employment and minimum income thresholds, to demonstrate financial self-sufficiency during their stay. The visa provides a lawful pathway for longer-term residence compared to standard visitor options.
By formalizing a digital nomad framework, Taiwan joins a growing number of jurisdictions offering tailored immigration options for remote workers. The new visa is expected to appeal to professionals seeking stability and flexibility, while supporting Taiwan’s broader economic and tourism objectives through longer stays and increased local spending.

France: Expanded Civic and Language Testing Requirements for Select Residence Permits and Citizenship
France has introduced expanded civic knowledge and French-language requirements for certain long-term residence permits and citizenship applications, reflecting a renewed emphasis on integration. Under reforms adopted as part of France’s recent immigration legislation, applicants for select multi-year residence permits, 10-year resident cards, and French nationality must now demonstrate both language proficiency and an understanding of French civic values.
The new framework introduces a standardized civic examination covering principles, institutions, and everyday life in France. In parallel, language standards have been raised, with higher French proficiency levels now required depending on the type of residence permit or citizenship sought. These requirements apply primarily to new applications and are designed to ensure long-term residents and future citizens have the linguistic and civic tools needed to participate fully in French society.
French authorities have indicated that these measures are intended to strengthen integration outcomes while creating a more consistent national approach to language and civic assessment and enhancing integration. The Directorate General for Foreigners in France of the Ministry of the Interior is launching a website entirely dedicated to civic training, which will be regularly updated to offer comprehensive support for integration and civic exam success.
Italy: New Decree Authorizes Work Permits for Certain Descendants of Italian Nationals
Italy’s government has issued a decree allowing foreign nationals with Italian ancestry from select countries to obtain work permits outside the standard quota system.
A new Italian immigration measure published in the Official Gazette on November 24, 2025, sets out special provisions enabling foreign nationals who are descendants of Italian citizens to enter and work in Italy for subordinate employment without being counted against the annual quota limits that usually govern non-EU work permits. This policy change stems from amendments to the Consolidated Immigration Act and the identification of specific countries with significant historical Italian emigration. Nationals of Argentina, Brazil, the United States, Australia, Canada, Uruguay, and Venezuela who can demonstrate Italian descent and have a job offer in Italy are now eligible for this quota-free work route. The adjustment aims to strengthen ties with diaspora communities and support Italy’s labor market needs by broadening access channels for experienced workers with familial connections to Italy. Procedures are expected to align with existing work permit application processes.

United Kingdom: Mandatory Enforcement of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) Scheme Begins February 2026
The United Kingdom is continuing the rollout of its Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system, which will require most visa-exempt travelers to obtain advance digital permission before traveling to the UK starting February 25, 2026.
Once fully implemented, the ETA will apply to visitors from 85 countries who can currently visit the UK without a visa for short stays, including the United States, Canada, and France. Travelers will need to apply online before departure and receive approval linked electronically to their passport. The authorization will generally allow multiple short visits over a set period, although it will not guarantee entry, as admission decisions will still be made at the border.
For employers and travelers, the ETA introduces an additional planning step, particularly for business travel on short notice. Airlines and other carriers will be required to verify ETA approval before boarding, increasing the risk of disruption if authorization is not secured in advance. Organizations with frequent UK travel should review traveler eligibility and update internal travel procedures accordingly.

Mexico: Reminder that Corporate Registration Updates Required Annually
This is a reminder for Mexican employers that are registered with the Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) to update their annual corporate registration requirements in 2026 as part of maintaining compliance with immigration law. Companies that intend to sponsor foreign workers or support their temporary residence visas must keep their Employer Registration Certificate (Constancia de Inscripción de Empleador) up to date with the INM. Failure to renew or update this registration on time could disrupt a company’s ability to sponsor or continue sponsoring foreign national employees.
In practice, registered employers should submit their latest annual tax return to the INM each year and report any changes to key corporate details, such as legal representative, address, branches, corporate name, or tax ID, so the migration registry reflects current information. The INM expects updates within 30 days of any change involving the employer’s corporate profile, and employers are generally required to update/maintain the registration annually to demonstrate continued operation and compliance.
This procedural reminder underscores the importance of administrative diligence for companies that employ foreign talent in Mexico. Proactive planning on annual corporate registration updates can help employers avoid administrative delays and ensure uninterrupted support for foreign workforce arrangements.
Brazil: New Humanitarian Visa Framework Replacing Country-Specific Programs
Brazil is overhauling its humanitarian immigration policy with a new unified humanitarian visa framework that takes effect January 1, 2026, replacing a series of country-specific programs that had operated in recent years. Under this emerging regime, the ad-hoc arrangements previously used to grant humanitarian visas to nationals from specific countries – such as nationals from Afghanistan, Haiti, and other countries – will be phased out in favor of a single, crisis-driven system.
Rather than automatically linking eligibility to a traveler’s passport, the new structure is expected to rely on joint acts issued by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to specify which countries and crisis conditions qualify for humanitarian visas and under what circumstances. Until that guidance is published, consulates have temporarily paused new humanitarian visa filings from abroad, creating a pause that affects both applicants and the organizations that support them.
Once in Brazil, visa holders must register with the Federal Police within 90 days of entry and may then apply for a two-year temporary residence authorization. Alternatively, they may seek recognition of refugee status, in which case they receive provisional residence while their claim is adjudicated. The policy also establishes a pathway to indefinite residence, allowing beneficiaries to convert their status after two years if they meet requirements related to physical presence in Brazil, lawful entry and exit, absence of criminal records, and proof of lawful means of subsistence.
Humanitarian visa holders already in Brazil continue to hold valid status, but extensions or new filings made after the transition date will be governed by the new unified system once eligibility criteria are announced. The overall goal of the reform is to establish a more structured, predictable, and responsive humanitarian immigration policy, replacing the previous patchwork of programs with a consolidated regulatory foundation.
