Elections Have Consequences: Predicting and Preparing for US Immigration Changes

As we anticipate the upcoming presidential elections in 2024, the landscape of US immigration policy stands on the brink of potential transformation. The outcome of these elections will significantly influence the direction of immigration laws and regulations under the new administration taking office in 2025.

The upcoming federal and state elections in November 2024 carry immense significance for mobility leaders and businesses alike. The policies and programs governing US immigration, including the treatment of noncitizen workers, are poised for potential shifts based on the candidates and political parties that prevail in these elections.

For individuals from visa-backlog countries such as India and China, potential reforms could mean improved prospects for obtaining US green cards. However, other noncitizens may face challenges, including delays in visa processing, unless Congress acts to increase the annual visa quota.
