Challenge
A multinational technology company needed to transfer a senior executive to expand one of its business verticals in the UAE. The executive, a Palestinian national with a Syrian-issued travel document, planned to relocate with her family.
The executive referred to the move as "life-changing."
Solution
Fragomen immediately scheduled a high-touch call with the executive and followed it up with a summary of what the applicant could expect, as well as the steps that they would take to proactively manage any challenges they anticipated. They proposed collating additional supporting documentation and placing their dedicated consular team on standby to legalise family documentation expeditiously. They adopted a holistic, two-pronged approach that involved proactive and high-touch communications by the case team (to keep the executive abreast of all developments and strategies) and their local government relations team, which leveraged its deep knowledge of government processes to provide additional supporting documentation to strengthen their case.
Results
The executive's request was granted. Upon entering the UAE, a Fragomen team member accompanied the executive to her medical examination and to obtain her residence permit. As dependents can only be sponsored for residency once the principal finalises their residency process, the proactive approach to document legalisation meant that the applicant's family was ready to join her without delay. The executive referred to the move as "life-changing."

Urgently Assessing Relocation Options for DACA Employees
A client had several hundred employees across the United States with DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) status. After the Trump Administration announced its intent to terminate the DACA programme, the client sought Fragomen's assistance in formulating strategies for this employee population. Whilst the population included employees at a variety of job levels, many of the employees were unlikely to be able to change to another immigration status, as they worked in lower-skilled positions or did not hold college degrees.
