This conference tackles the two biggest challenges OPT students face: the career and the immigration.
From the career side, hear directly from tech leaders, hiring managers, and founders on navigating today’s tough job market and securing employment while on OPT.
On the immigration side, we will dive into alternative pathways and latest immigration news and policies that might impact your future in the U.S., including but not limited to work visas like H1B, O1, green card options and Day 1 CPT, all from the professional lenses of immigration attorneys and university PDSOs.
Yes! However, you must sign up before the event begins to gain post-event access to the recordings and materials.
We highly recommend you set aside this few hours and attend, as you’ll get the chance to interact with speakers, ask questions, and gain direct, actionable guidance from tech leaders, universities, former visa officers, and join the university fair with the best hybrid CPT programs.
