CGMP Migration Risk Assessment & Management 5

Question 1

A company is implementing a global immigration risk register. Which element is most critical to include for each identified immigration risk?

Accepted Answer

The likelihood and potential impact of each risk, along with the designated risk owner and mitigation actions

Answer

A risk register must quantify likelihood and impact, assign accountability through risk owners, and document actionable mitigation steps for each identified risk.

Question 2

A company's global assignment policy does not address immigration compliance obligations for short-term business travelers. What is the most significant risk this gap creates?

Accepted Answer

Business travelers may inadvertently engage in activities that exceed permitted B-1 or visa-on-arrival scope, triggering work permit violations

Answer

Without clear guidance, business travelers may perform unauthorized work — such as providing services or generating local income — violating host-country work permit regulations.

Question 3

Which of the following best describes the 'willful violator' standard under INA §274A governing I-9 compliance?

Accepted Answer

An employer who knew or acted with reckless disregard for the legal requirement to verify employment authorization

Answer

A willful violator under INA §274A is one who knew or showed reckless disregard for the requirement, which subjects the employer to higher civil money penalties.

Question 4

A multinational company is assessing the immigration risk of posting an employee to a country where political instability has significantly increased. Which risk management action is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Conducting a country-specific risk assessment and developing an emergency repatriation plan

Answer

A country-specific risk assessment combined with a repatriation contingency plan addresses duty-of-care obligations and enables an organized response to deteriorating conditions.

Question 5

An H-1B employee has been placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) and placed on unpaid leave by their employer. Which immigration risk is most immediate?

Accepted Answer

Unpaid leave may constitute a failure to maintain H-1B status if the employer is not paying the required LCA wage

Answer

H-1B regulations require employers to pay the LCA-required wage; placing an employee on unpaid leave without a bona fide reason can constitute a failure to maintain status.
