Pabian Law Clients,

I hope all is well.  Please find the most up-to-date version of our resource, Trump Administration Immigration Actions (2025).

As we all try to make sense of the many Trump Administration’s immigration-related actions and initiatives, we hope that this resource is helpful to understand the actions that are impacting the hospitality industry.  We will email this resource to Pabian Law’s clients every other Friday.

Please note: Yesterday afternoon, the U.S. Department of State updated the categories of visa applicants that may be eligible for a waiver of the nonimmigrant visa interview at consulates and embassies abroad.  Importantly, H-2B visas are not within these exceptions and those workers will still need to attend an interview.  However, having many visas fall under the exception will hopefully help ease processing backlogs and reduce delays for those required to attend interviews.

We hope that you find these resources helpful as we all try to make sense of what is really happening in the world of immigration law.  Wishing everyone a great weekend!

Thank you,

Keith and the Pabian Law Team
