Employment-based immigration has become harder to navigate this year. A new H-1B fee and a wage-weighted H-1B lottery are now in force, the duration of status rule has changed what F-1 students can count on, and O-1 adjudication has grown less predictable. The guidance available publicly has not kept pace, which leaves people making consequential decisions about their careers on incomplete information.
Over the past several months, Alma has received hundreds of questions from individuals navigating these pathways. We reviewed all of them, identified the patterns that came up most, and built this session around the answers.
The first 45 minutes cover the most common questions, answered by Alma attorneys Geeta Darubra and Meghan O'Keefe. The remainder is open Q&A, where you can raise your own situation. Questions submitted through the Q&A panel are anonymous to other attendees.
This session addresses general legal principles and is not a substitute for advice on your individual case.
Founders, engineers, researchers, designers, and other professionals evaluating an O-1; students and recent graduates on F-1, OPT, or STEM OPT planning their next step; and individuals on H-1B, TN, E-2, or H-4 weighing their options.
