Episode 2: Avoiding the EB-5 China Backlog with a Grenada Citizenship and E-2 Visa

What makes an employer a target for ICE enforcement, and what should you do if agents show up at your workplace?

In the first episode of our worksite compliance series, host Nick Lowrey is joined by Klasko’s Partner-in-Charge of the DC office, Tim D’Arduini, to break down how ICE and Homeland Security Investigations identify employers for enforcement actions. They discuss high-risk industries, the role of government data sharing, and how prior audits or inconsistencies can trigger scrutiny.

Nick and Tim also walk through what enforcement can look like in practice, from administrative and judicial warrants to large-scale raids. Listeners will learn practical tips on managing these interactions, building a response protocol, training their teams, and preparing for the legal, operational, and reputational risks that can follow.

Whether you’re a small business or a large organization, this episode offers a clear, real-world look at how to prepare for today’s enforcement landscape.

Episode 33: Relaunching Statutes of Liberty: Introducing Our Worksite Compliance Series

An EB-1B visa petition can be very intimidating, especially for scholars, professors, and researchers still early in their careers. However, the category’s ambiguous requirements can be used to the benefit of a foreign national early in their career. In this episode, Klasko EB-1 attorneys Anu Nair, Allie Dempsey, and Nigel James discuss how they would advise clients on strengthening their cases for success when applying for an EB-1B Outstanding Researcher or Professor.

Klasko’s distinguished EB-1 team discusses:
What is an EB-1B and who is eligible?
What are the criteria and requirements?
How can professors use their teaching experience?
How can researchers use their experience?
What documents can be used for evidence?
Are there any alternatives to an EB-1B?

The Klasko EB-1 team has extensive experience handling EB-1B petitions for professors, researchers, and scholars. For more information on this topic, read Nigel’s recent blog:
