Conversations with Mobility Leaders: Impact of Elections on Immigration and Global Mobility

  • by Daina Mueller

As elections reshape global policy landscapes, mobility professionals must stay agile, especially in the U.S., where 2024's political shifts have made employment-based immigration a high-priority issue. In a year when 74 countries went to the polls and another 74 will follow in 2025, the implications for talent mobility are profound.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Global Shifts, Local Impacts. Immigration dominated the 2024 election agenda worldwide. This spotlight signals tighter regulations and unpredictable changes that demand quick, informed responses from mobility teams.
  • U.S. Immigration Policy: What’s Changing. Only 27% of green cards go to workers; family-based immigration still leads. H-1B approvals dropped slightly, and a major modernization took effect in January 2025, tightening definitions, increasing compliance checks, and reinforcing employer-employee rules.
  • Executive Orders & Trade Policy. Expect more visa scrutiny with EO 14161 and the America First Trade Policy review, potentially impacting treaty visas like TN, E-3, and H-1B1.
  • Operational Impacts. From longer visa wait times to a spike in Requests for Evidence (RFEs), mobility leaders need sharper focus on compliance. Site visits and documentation demands are on the rise.

 

Recommendations for Mobility Teams

Following are some recommendations to help you navigate immigration changes and challenges effectively:

  • Engage proactively with your immigration counsel. Review internal processes for visa support, compliance, and documentation.
  • Educate your business units. Ensure HR and hiring teams understand evolving visa requirements and timelines.
  • Audit risk and readiness. Implement response protocols for site visits and government inquiries.
  • Communicate with assignees. Provide timely updates and support for impacted employees.


Conclusion

Mobility leaders will need to continue to develop proactive, informed mobility strategies in 2025.
