Op-ed | Green Cards, clawbacks and compliance: Immigration sponsorship after the Trapped at Work Act' | amNewYork

New York employers that sponsor foreign national employees for permanent residence are facing a materially different legal landscape under the state's Trapped at Work Act. As amended in early 2026, the law sharply restricts so-called stay or pay arrangements and significantly limits an employer's ability to recover costs from employees who leave before a specified period of service. Although the act does not explicitly reference immigration sponsorship, its structure, statutory language and legislative history strongly suggest that traditional green card reimbursement agreements are unlikely to be enforceable once the law becomes operative in February 2027.
