Nita Upadhye, Managing Partner of NNU Immigration, joins Alex Finch and Rebecca Tester of Constantine Law as a guest on their Immigration Series podcast. 

In this episode, Nita, Rebecca and Alex compare the UK and US business immigration systems.

The discussion explores how political pressure around unlawful migration is influencing lawful sponsorship routes, the differing approaches to employer compliance and enforcement, and the structural realities of US green card caps and nationality-based backlogs.

The episode also examines the UK’s proposed earned settlement reforms, the mechanics behind the $100,000 H-1B visa fee, and the practical importance of maintaining underlying status during the US green card process.

A practical, cross-border conversation for employers, HR teams and advisers working with internationally mobile talent.
