3/24/10 Webinar: H-1B Basics. Jackson & Hertogs will provide an in-depth webinar, focusing on the basics of visa petitions for H-1B non-immigrant temporary workers from the perspective of the sponsoring employer. We will explain such terms as "specialty occupation" and "prevailing wage" as they relate to H-1B eligibility.  We will examine the Labor Condition Application process, including requirements for the DOL Access File and Personal Immigration File.  We will also discuss the implications of the H-1B quota cap and strategies for extensions beyond the H-1B's maximum six-year limit.  (PHR/SPHR certification 1.5 hours)
4/28/10 Webinar: Global travel and immigration. With business partners and affiliates located all over the world, global mobility is critical to a company's success. This webinar will address basic issues concerning employees' international business travel and work assignments. We will provide an overview of the B-1 visa and the Visa Waiver Program for foreign national visitors coming to visit U.S. companies. We will discuss general requirements for international business visits and visas to other countries. The webinar also will address preliminary considerations and document requirements for global work authorization.  (PHR/SPHR certification 1.5 hours)
5/26/10 Webinar: Applying Best Practices, Trends and Benchmarking. The U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) PERM labor certification program has been in place for five years. However, recent DOL program changes and adjudication trends have complicated and delayed PERM processing. While we will briefly discuss the PERM process, this webinar will focus on best practices employers should consider in filing PERM cases, such as planning recruitment, impacts of layoffs on PERM cases, and standardizing job descriptions and requirements. We will also discuss case examples of how different employers manage their PERM programs to prepare successful applications.  (PHR/SPHR certification 1.5 hours)

Jackson & Hertogs provides free seminars, webinars and teleconferences as part of our monthly immigration seminar series. Seminars employ a round-table discussion format, so seating is limited. The seminars are held at our office in San Francisco, start at 10:00, and last approximately 90 minutes. Many of the seminar topics will be presented again at a later date.

We also hold seminars off-site. For example, we have held seminars in Palo Alto, San Jose and Santa Rosa. These seminars are generally classroom style and begin with a breakfast from 9:30AM to 10:00AM. The substantive presentation is from 10AM to 12PM. Some seminars of broad interest are offered as on-line webinars: these "Web-based seminars" consist of an interactive presentation followed by a question and answer session.

To register for any of the seminars - unless otherwise noted above - please e-mail webinar@jackson-hertogs.com with the date of the seminar you would like to attend. You should receive a reply to your e-mail within 1-3 days. If the seminar you selected is already filled, we will place your name on a waiting list. Should a cancellation arise, we will notify you 3-7 days in advance.
