DESCRIPTION: The typical immigration journey for a foreign student after graduation starts with an F-1 student visa while in school, continues with the post-graduation Optional Practical Training (OPT) work permit and usually leads to an employer-sponsored H-1B work visa. Immigration and Business attorney Dana Bucin will speak on the various creative alternatives to the H-1B visa, with a focus on entrepreneurship/investment-based immigration.
