Navigating Employment-Based Immigration
The audience will hear from a former Adjudications Officer at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) headquarters in Washington, DC. Attorney Williams can offer added insight into the workings of the agency, and now advocates on behalf of immigrants looking to work and live in the U.S.A.
SMBs have had no shortage of challenges over the last couple of years, not the least of which is attracting and retaining talent. The labor shortage and the great resignation are buzz words that everyone has heard as of late, but what about the available talent that is currently based overseas?
In 2021, the administration made a number of changes to the U.S. employment-based immigration system that employers may not have on their radar. Some of those changes are a good step moving forward, but some may present challenges in the human resources space, particularly for SMBs.
Whether you are a U.S. based employer in search of talent based outside of the country, or you are a prospective employee looking to work and setup residence in the U.S., it behooves you to have the right counsel in your corner.
We are joined by Carol Williams, Principal & Attorney at Williams Immigration. Carol helps companies hire and retain employees who are non-citizens. She has worked extensively with companies of all sizes, from start-ups to multinational companies, as well as individuals trying to live and work in the U.S.A. with their families.
For 20 years her legal practice has concentrated exclusively on matters of immigration and nationality.

Segment 1
Steven starts talking about the topic of this Friday which is a crucial problem. He mentions that this week we have celebrated President Day: Freedoms and opportunities started on this first day. This week the topic that Steven will talk about is related to Citizenship and Immigration Services. He mentions the importance of attracting talents overseas and like he says maybe someone is not in the radar of the new changes. That’s why whether you are a U.S. based employer or you are a prospective employee looking to work and set up residence in the U.S you need the right counsel. To help you in this process, Steven suggests you look for appropriate information. He introduces his special guest Carol Williams, Principal & Attorney at Williams Immigration. Carol delivers solutions to problems that might arrive to immigrant people. Carol helps companies hire and retain employees who are non-citizens and She has worked with companies of all sizes. In addition, she can also help you to get green cards, passports, etc to live in the U.S.
Steven introduces Carol and he says that she has the best perspective on this matter. She starts talking about her deep experience, starting with criminal law but at the end she realized that she didn’t like it at all. That’s why she decided to go to Mexico and study a random ‘subject’ called Inmigration. Like she says the universe gave her the opportunity to study Inmigration. In that period, she met lots of people and she understood their different problems related to this matter. Steven asks her if this experience was better staying in Mexico instead of coming back to the U.S. She answers that she doubts about it because of the difficulty of the language (Spanish). Steven says to her that she can tell us about how she can work with different people all over the country. She says that the most important thing related to Inmigration is the Congress and the President.
Segment 2
After the break, Steven keeps the message that Carol can help and work with different people all over the U.S. Quick perspective by him is that not being an American citizen is very stressed since the pandemic. Steven mentions that you need to know the entire situation to be a legal citizen in the U.S. He states that Carol knows the governmental and federal laws in case it is needed. Steven asks her what she does these days. She answers ‘what's your goal like?, what are you trying to achieve?’. Because there are many different goals and sometimes people can recognize them so that’s why Carol helps people to identify them. She keeps saying that she works together with the client as partners. She mentions that it is important to work together since sometimes cases are long term goals.
As Carols says, when you are a prospective employee looking to work in the US and want to reside in the country, it is not so easy. Maybe you don't get the goal at first so you need to keep working on that until getting a green card or visa for instance. Her method is to stay with what they need, even if they are not ready and they have to work for the next step. Steven is passionate about this and agrees with her work.
Apart from this, Steven is curious about how registrants can create an account on the U.S.A. website. She answers that first of all she and her team call back them. The problem is that there are only 85,000 visas per year.
Segment 3
After the break, Steven introduces his guest again, Carol Williams, Principal & Attorney at Williams Immigration. He mentions that he has never heard of someone in an exciting way related to her work. Steven remarks that every case is different and wants to know different stories. She answers that she loves complex cases because she is able to ‘really dig in with a client, figure out what they once thought they were supposed to say and then really dig in and get information from them which is not on the 40-page form instructions’. Steven mentions there are many cases in which people get the green card through weddings. Sometimes it is just a fact of business.
Segment 4
In this last segment, Steven and Carol speak about cases in which employers do not give the legal papers to the employee and the first step is to identify who they are since they have to be responsible to hire the right person in their business. Second step is to carry out her tasks. Steven mentions how passionate Carol is with her hard work. He loves the story behind it. He cheers the audience to get in touch with her in case it is needed.
