From F-1 to Green Card: U.S. Immigration Strategies and Pathways for International Students

This will be a candid panel discussion featuring professionals who support international students at every stage of the journey—from the university adviser who first guides students through visa rules, to the immigration attorney who prepares petitions, to the former USCIS officer who has reviewed thousands of cases from inside the system.
