SUMMARY:Immigration and Travel Restrictions Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The immigration and travel restrictions put into place around the world during this pandemic have put businesses in difficult positions when it comes to the management of their global workforce. At the same time\, many individuals and families have questions about their travel and holiday plans.\n\nOn April 22\, 2020\, President Trump signed the Proclamation Suspending Entry of Immigrants Who Present Risk to the U.S. Labor Market During the Economic Recovery Following the COVID-19 Outbreak. Prior to this Executive Order\, much of the U.S. immigration infrastructure was already closed due to COVID-19. U.S. Consular Posts abroad have been closed since March\, which has prevented individuals from applying for visa stamps and certain visas (Blanket L and E-Visas) permitting them to travel to the United States. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) closed local offices until the beginning of June. Additionally\, expansive travel restrictions for individuals traveling from Europe and China have also made it difficult\, if not impossible\, for U.S. visa holders to travel to the United States.\n\nMoreover\, President Trump announced that he wants to put additional immigration restrictions in place\, asking his administration to propose new measures by May 22\, “appropriate to stimulate the U.S. economy and ensure the prioritization\, hiring\, and employ of United States workers.”\n\nAt the same time\, the European Union also took measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Since March 16\, all non-essential travels to the E.U. are restricted. EU-citizens\, long-term residents and their family members can travel to Europe to return to their homes\, as well as certain travelers “with an essential function or need”. De facto\, all visa activity is suspended until June 15\, and trans-Atlantic air traffic shrunk by 90% since mid-March. Anyone arriving in the U.S. or Europe\, also has to self quarantine for two weeks at home.\n\nDuring this webinar\, you will discuss the current state of US immigration\, visa processing and international travel\, as well as leaving time for your questions.\n\nOur panelists:\n\nTeri A. Simmons is a partner at Arnall Golden Gregory in Atlanta\, Georgia\, where she has practiced for over 29 years. Arnall Golden Gregory employs 170 attorneys at its offices in Atlanta\, Georgia and Washington DC. She directs the International Practice Group which focuses on the holistic representation of multinational owned companies in the US in the areas of corporate\, employment\, litigation\, tax\, intellectual property and immigration law. She manages companies’ global immigration needs through the support of the Employment Law Global Alliance\, as well as both U.S. immigrant and non-immigrant visa processing for businesses and families (temporary work visas and green cards) and the immigration consequences of mergers and acquisitions. Ms. Simmons also serves as an Adjunct Professor for Business Immigration Law at the University of Georgia School of Law. Full bio here.\n\nMichael Cerulus is the deputy head of mission at the Consulate General of Belgium in Atlanta.

SUMMARY:Flying Special Missions: From Ebola to Explosives
DESCRIPTION:When foreign governments descend into chaos and Americans need immediate evacuation; when American personnel are stricken with highly-infectious and deadly diseases and need to be flown home for treatment\, the U.S. State Department turns to one company: Atlanta-founded and Georgia-based Phoenix Air Group\, Inc. \nIn 2017\, Phoenix Air flew Otto Warmbier home from captivity in North Korea. In 2014\, they transported two Ebola-stricken Americans from Liberia to Atlanta for treatment at Emory Hospital. In March 2019\, Phoenix Air extracted 24 American diplomats and up to “20\,000 lbs. of sensitive cargo” from Venezuela despite never having received landing authority in the country. \nThese missions could have been from a James Bond or Jason Bourne script. But they are real with real consequences and real lives at stake. \nOn Tuesday\, April 9th Phoenix Air’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel Randy Davis — who also happens to be the pilot who flew the Ebola patients out of Liberia — will give Council members an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the world of global government special missions and security operations. \nThis program is for Council members only and has limited registrations. Complimentary admission for members. To register or become a member\, e-mail membership manager Alice Dossche at adossche@gsu.edu.
