Visa Bulletin, Immigration and Shutdown Updates | Rapid-Fire Wednesdays 02.25 (94)

In this episode (recorded February 23, 2026), WR Partners Kimberley Best Robidoux and Miki Kawashima Matrician break down major developments impacting employers and foreign nationals. The WR duo analyze significant forward movement in the March Visa Bulletin, explain the tactical positioning behind EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 advancements, and outline what a potential surge in adjustment of status filings could mean for workforce planning, employee mobility, and dependent work authorization. Our Fire-Twins also touch on the Department of Labor’s forthcoming prevailing wage rule, including how anticipated wage increases in the H-1B, E-3, and PERM context could disrupt compensation models, hiring strategies, and pay equity considerations. They close with practical updates on TSA PreCheck and Global Entry uncertainty amid the DHS shutdown, rising premium processing fees effective March 1, and key reminders as H-1B cap registration opens March 4. Tune in for strategic insights to help HR and Global Mobility teams stay proactive as visa availability shifts, regulatory changes loom, and travel programs face unexpected disruption.
