2. Early Filings and Contingency Planning
- Efficient Case Management: To counteract expected delays, we encourage clients to initiate long-term processes like PERMs as early as possible.
- Contingency Planning: We will help clients prepare for potential denials or delays by exploring alternative options and backup strategies to safeguard their immigration goals.
3. Employer Guidance and Compliance
- Compliance Audits: Employers will face increased scrutiny through audits and site visits. Tondini Law will assist businesses in reassessing their I-9 compliance and sponsorship practices to ensure they meet all legal requirements.

4. Enhanced Practitioner Strategies
- Premium Processing: Where available, we will prioritize premium processing to expedite case adjudication before anticipated delays take effect.
