Understanding the Complex Web of Policies, Delays, and Shifting Priorities in Today’s Immigration Landscape 

Facing the Hurdles Together: Real Challenges in U.S. Immigration—and How We Help You Through Them 

At Sapon Immigration, we’ve walked beside hundreds of families, workers, and employers as they navigate a system that often feels anything but welcoming. Immigration in the United States is layered, emotional, and—let’s be honest—frequently frustrating. 

We believe that talking openly about these challenges is the first step toward overcoming them. Below, we’ve shared some of the most common barriers our clients face today—and how we work through them together. 

The Rules Keep Changing—And It’s Exhausting 

If you’ve ever felt like the immigration process is a moving target, you’re not wrong. Policy shifts, new agency interpretations, or court decisions can all impact your case—even after you’ve submitted everything correctly. 

We recently worked with an employer who had relied on the same seasonal visa process for years. Practically overnight, wage rules and processing caps shifted, throwing months of planning into question. That’s the reality we’re navigating right now. 

What we do: We stay ahead of these changes, so you don’t have to. Our clients know they can trust us to explain what’s happening—clearly, calmly, and with a plan. 

Long Waits, Little Clarity 

USCIS backlogs and embassy delays continue to weigh heavily on families and businesses alike. Waiting months—or even years—for answers is emotionally and financially draining. We’ve seen the toll it takes on spouses separated by oceans or small business owners missing the workers they desperately need. 

How we support you: We don’t pretend delays aren’t frustrating—but we promise transparency at every stage. Our team works behind the scenes to monitor your case, push for progress where possible, and keep you informed every step of the way. 

Requests for Evidence (RFEs) Can Feel Like a Setback—But They’re Not the End 

Receiving a Request for Evidence can feel like a gut punch. You submitted everything carefully, and now the government is asking for more. But RFEs are more common than ever, and with the right guidance, they’re very manageable. 

Our approach: We Walk you through the RFE step-by-step, explain exactly what’s needed, and help you craft a strong, timely response. We see these moments not as failures—but as opportunities to strengthen your case. 

It’s Harder Than Ever to Find (and Keep) Workers 

For employers in industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and food processing, accessing legal foreign labor is a growing challenge. The H-2A and H-2B programs are valuable tools—but they come with quotas, tight timelines, and a lot of red tape. 

Why it matters: Many of our employer clients feel like they’re being asked to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. That’s where we come in—not just with paperwork, but with strategy, foresight, and care. 

One Mistake Can Lead to Big Trouble 

From I-9 compliance to recruitment documentation, the margin for error in immigration law is slim. And yet, we meet wonderful, well-meaning employers who had no idea they were out of compliance—until it was too late. 

What we believe: You shouldn’t have to figure this out alone. Our job is to protect your business and guide you toward practices that are not only legal—but sustainable. 

There’s So Much Misinformation Out There 

One of the hardest things to watch is when people rely on advice from unqualified sources—friends, forums, or even bad actors. We’ve seen families lose valuable time, or even get denied, because they didn’t have the right information early on. 

Our promise: At Sapon Immigration, we explain things in plain language. We want you to feel empowered, not intimidated, and we’re always just a phone call away.

  • We’re not just here to file forms. We’re here to strategize solutions to difficult challenges and help you move forward—with confidence and compassion.
