Two new immigration developments for employers.

The Department of Labor is suspending eight major employers from PERM, the first step of most employer-sponsored green card cases. The Department of Homeland Security has also proposed fees of up to $100,000 per student for Optional Practical Training (OPT). The OPT proposal is not in effect, and comments are due November 9.

A second federal court has blocked the $100,000 H-1B fee.

On September 30, a federal judge in California barred federal agencies from collecting the fee, including under the September 2026 proclamation that extended it. For now, employers can file H-1B petitions without the $100,000 payment.

The case is not over. The government can appeal, and a separate proposal for a $103,265 fee on cap-subject H-1B petitions is still pending.

Is your immigration counsel simply managing cases or helping your HR team manage the workforce?

For employers, business immigration can affect hiring, retention, mobility, compliance, and business continuity. Strong immigration counsel should therefore provide more than successful filings.

HR leaders should expect proactive planning, clear executive-level guidance, visibility across the immigration program, and a consistent experience for employees.

Our latest article outlines what a strong business immigration partnership should look like—and the standard HR teams should expect from their counsel.

AI is no longer just changing how companies operate. It is changing how the U.S. immigration system operates, too.

USCIS has disclosed a growing portfolio of AI tools used for document processing, identity matching, E-Verify, evidence review, fraud detection, translation, and other functions.

For HR and global mobility leaders, the takeaway is important: as government systems become better at organizing and comparing information, accurate data, consistent filings, strong compliance processes, and thoughtful human oversight become even more important.

We believe immigration providers should approach AI the same way. At Klug Law Firm, we are embracing technology that can help us better serve our clients while maintaining clear internal policies, careful technology selection, strong security practices, and attorney oversight.

Technology should enhance professional judgment, not replace it.

Read our latest analysis on what USCIS's AI strategy could mean for business immigration: https://www.klugfirm.com/uncategorized/ai-is-already-changing-business-immigration-what-employers-should-know/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=thought_leadership_september&utm_content=blog
