📍 DOL site visits are not the time to discover missing files or outdated addresses.

If your company sponsors H-1B employees, a site visit from the Department of Labor is a matter of when, not if.
And too often, HR is left holding the bag when no one knows where the original LCA is.

In our latest guide, we break down:
✔ What triggers a DOL site visit
✔ What investigators look for
✔ What HR should prepare today to stay audit-ready

Proactive compliance is not just a legal safety net. It protects your people and your credibility with regulators.

🧭 Promotion or new role? For H-1Bs, the difference matters.

You want to promote a high-performing H-1B employee.
New title. New responsibilities. Maybe a new salary.

But here’s the catch:
If the role change is too significant, it could trigger the need for an amended petition, or worse, jeopardize compliance.

In our latest blog, we break down:
✅ What USCIS considers a “material change”
✅ When a promotion is just a promotion
✅ When you need to file a new LCA or H-1B
✅ How to avoid unintentional violations

Supporting growth shouldn’t create risk.
This guide helps HR teams get it right.

🔍 The I-9 audit doesn’t start with the notice. It starts with HR.

Most I-9 issues aren’t caused by bad intent.
They’re caused by messy handoffs, remote onboarding, and no one double-checking the binder since 2019.

But once you get the audit notice?
Every detail counts.

We built a straightforward checklist to help HR teams:
✅ Spot common I-9 mistakes before ICE does
✅ Prep for remote and hybrid employee records
✅ Understand what to correct, and what not to touch
✅ Stay calm if the notice actually arrives

If your I-9 process hasn’t been reviewed in a while, this is your sign.

H-1B employees planning a move or trip during cap season? Read this first.

It’s one of the most overlooked risks during H-1B cap season:
➡️ A move to a new address
➡️ A quick international trip

But here’s the thing:
Both can trigger major issues—like needing an amended petition or getting stuck abroad.

We put together a quick guide for HR teams managing H-1B employees this season:
✅ When an address change requires a new filing
✅ What to do before employees travel internationally
✅ How to communicate clearly (and legally) with employees
✅ What not to assume when USCIS is involved

Because immigration isn’t just paperwork—it’s planning.

🧠 Immigration isn’t your full-time job—but it still feels like a full-time fire.

You’re not an immigration expert.
You’re not a lawyer.
You’re probably not even the only HR person.

And yet…you’re the one:
📎 Coordinating with attorneys
📎 Answering visa questions
📎 Tracking case deadlines between 8 other priorities

This guide was written for you—the People Ops leader juggling it all:
✅ What to prioritize when immigration is “on the side”
✅ How to reduce risk without increasing workload
✅ Tools to help you stay in control (without being the bottleneck)

Because HR shouldn’t have to be an immigration team and an HR team.
