Rules for UK Visit Visas and Permitted Paid Activities Have Changed – Here's How

New Jersey Quietly Rolls Back Temporary Suspension of Employer Withholding Rules for Teleworking Employees

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the Federal Communications Commission’s foreign sponsorship identification rule that had required radio and TV broadcasters to undertake independent investigations by searching federal government databases for information about the sponsors of programming.
