This panel is designed to focus on the specific issues affecting small businesses in the NIV and IV contexts, particularly in light of the growing view of USCIS that small companies are not viable and do not qualify for NIVs and IVs. The panel will describe the extra hurdles a small company faces in successfully filing for immigration benefits for its employees and will provide practical tips regarding what you can or should do differently when representing small businesses. Dagmar Butte, Matthew Dunn, Andrew L. Wizner
