Confused about options for staying and working in the United States after graduation? Worried about the H1B quota? What about the STEM extension for OPT?  Does that still exist?

Presented by immigration attorney Mark Rhoads of the law firm McCandlish Holton.

Topics will include Optional Practical Training (OPT) and H-1B visas, including an explanation of the H-1B quota and the H-1B lottery.  He will also discuss the impact of the new White House administration on work visas and immigration generally.  

In addition, Mark will provide practical strategies for talking to employers about work visa issues during interviews.
