The Department of Homeland Security may test a “Known Employer” pilot program to streamline processing of certain types of employment-based immigration applications submitted by eligible U.S. employers.  Expected to launch by late 2015, the program is designed to:

  • Make adjudications more efficient and less costly.
  • Reduce paperwork and delays for U.S. employers who seek to employ foreign workers.
  • Facilitate cross-border business travel along the northern border Ports of Entry.

More information about the pilot program is expected in the coming months.  Stay tuned!
