H1B Alternatives Workshop: Step-by-Step Pathways (O1, Day 1 CPT & More)
Description
Didn’t get selected in the H1B lottery, or planning ahead?

What each option actually requires (timeline, cost, effort)
Step-by-step how to get started immediately
Common mistakes that can delay or derail your journey
This is designed to be interactive, practical, and actionable - come with your questions.
What You’ll Walk Away With
A clear understanding of your best visa pathway
A step-by-step action plan (not just theory)
Real-world insights from people who’ve navigated this successfully
Clarity on short-term vs long-term strategy
