Thank you to all those that registered for and attended Friday’s Pabian Law H-2B webinar, Planning for Gaping Holes in Hospitality Staffing: Understanding the Immigration Impacts of the Trump Administration’s Initiatives.  I appreciate you taking the time to join us to learn more about the current immigration climate in the U.S.  There are many Trump administration initiatives that will likely leave the hospitality industry with major staffing shortages in the weeks, months, and years ahead.

There are three potential solutions that I highly encourage you to consider:

  1. If you are interested in becoming a Pabian Law client, please let me know as soon as possible.  We would love to talk to you about potentially working together!  Our services are in very high demand due to our reputation, commitment to education and transparency, and work in the industry – combined with the increasing demand in H-2B visas.  Therefore, we are likely going to be needing to limit capacity for upcoming seasons.  Therefore, if you are interested in working together or learning more about us, please reach out to me as soon as possible at keith@pabianlaw.com or (617) 939-9444 to schedule a call.
  2. I strongly encourage you to send at least one person from your organization to our Staffing Summit in July.  It will set you up for success in terms of education and recruiting.  Every year, we watch Staffing Summit attendees be some of the most successful H-2B clients and seasonal businesses.  You can learn more about the Summit and sign up at https://www.eventleaf.com/e/2025StaffingSummit.  The Summit is almost sold out, so if you are able to send someone from your organization, I recommend signing up ASAP.
  3. If you are not already a member, I recommend taking a look at our sister company, Seasonal Connect, and consider joining.  There is a discount for Pabian Law clients and it is a very impactful platform that will provide you with a ton of exposure to seasonal workers and opposite-season organizations.  @carly.eglin@seasonalconnect.com is included on this email and can answer any Seasonal Connect questions that you may have.

Please do not forget about Pabian Law’s news page, found online at https://www.pabianlaw.com/news/.  You will find endless educational resources on the website.  Please note that some of the resources are locked and only available to Pabian Law clients.

Finally, I attached our H-2B Visa Tips & Best Practices document as a helpful tool in making your H-2B visa program as seamless and impactful as possible.  With so many of the Trump administration initiatives aimed at J-1 visas and humanitarian programs, H-2B visas are going to be vital to meet your organization’s staffing needs.

Thanks again, everyone!  Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Best regards,

Keith
