Planning for Life After Graduation: Visas and Immigration Options for International Students

This event is being held virtually and is open to everyone.

Planning for life after graduation can be a challenge, especially for international students. Join Global Minnesota and Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP for an information session about post-graduation visa and immigration pathways. The conversation will cover visa options including F-1 OPT, F-1 STEM OPT, H-1B work visas, J-1 issues and waivers and more, followed by a question and answer session. The discussion will also include a brief overview of the permanent residence process. This information session is designed for international students considering working or living in the United States after their studies, but is open to everyone.
