Fantastic news that the proposal to rescind the H4EAD has been withdrawn. Important now to remedy delays in the EAD process. https://t.co/8d07G15PYI

Moving with the Times: Why Partner Employment Access Contributes to Successful Global Mobility Policy by Helen Frew @HelenPermits @PermitsLobby https://t.co/SAe2zM3ISf #SHRMGMIS

Yesterday we wrote to the Irish Government @EnterInnov. We provided data to underpin our request that spouses and partners of ICTs have direct access to employment. Many thanks to our sponsors @DeloitteIreland @NewlandChase and @fragomen who also provided letters of support.

[Helen Frew @HelenPermits]

@fairwork_gov_au it is great that TSS spouses and de facto partners can work and study in Australia under the subsequent entry visa. Can you help clarify if work under this visa also includes self-employment?

[Permits Foundation @PermitsLobby]

Huge thanks to all who attended our China sponsor discussion today. Hosts @fragomen and other expert speakers @PwC & @NewlandChase treated us to impressive and insightful perspectives on the current global mobility landscape and good prospects for dual careers policy...

[Permits Foundation @PermitsLobby]

The @CommonsHomeAffs meets again tomorrow to discuss Home Office preparedness for Covid-19. Yesterday we wrote to the @ukhomeoffice with recommendations on two of the points raised, including practical proposals to help safeguard Tier 2 workers and their families.

Permits Foundation has written to the @ukhomeoffice today in support of Tier 2 workers and their family members not covered by the recent govt. COVID-19 visa announcements. Read our letter and practical recommendations here: https://t.co/OyFVHPsdui @CommonsHomeAffs

Permits Foundation has submitted a response to the MAC call for evidence on salary thresholds. We highlight that under any future system for Tier 2 migrants, recognised family members should continue to be able to join and have access to employment. https://t.co/PISEF640kI

[Helen Frew @HelenPermits]

Really great news from Belgium. #BestPractice

[Michiel van Campen @MichielvCampen]

Very productive meetings in Brussels with @BelgiumEU and @vlaamseoverheid on the new #singlepermit policy in #Belgium. This gives direct access to work for spouses/partners of #expats. @PermitsLobby #globalmobility
