Immigration is a prominent topic this election season, and April 1 is the first day the U.S. government accepts applications for the sought-after H-1B visa for highly-skilled foreigners. That same day, join the GW Center for Law, Economics & Finance to better understand what this “race for skilled foreign talent” means for U.S. immigration policy and the world.
Note: This event is presented by the GW Center for Law, Economics & Finance. It is co-sponsored by the Washington Center.
