The
HR Manager's Guide
to
Immigration Law
Copyright 2011
By James A Bach, Esq.
The HR Manager's Guide to Immigration Law is an
easy-to-read summary of business immigration law. Designed
for human resources professionals, executives, and hiring
managers, it describes how to hire and retain the best
workers in the world, and to obtain employment authorization
for them. This book will take the mystery out of temporary
working visas, labor certifications, green cards, and other
employment-based immigration solutions.
Although designed for the HR professional, this book will
also be useful for lawyers. For experienced business
immigration attorneys, it provides a very accessible
reference, with a verbatim list of the NAFTA
professional categories, list of all E-1 and E-2 treaties,
summary of short-term placement rules for H-1B employees,
and relevant tax rules, such as the FICA exemption for those
working in Practical Training status. For immigration lawyers who
do not primarily practice business immigration law, this
book is a succinct primer on the possibilities for
employment-based visas and green cards.
