International Student Town Hall with an Immigration Attorney

​Navigating U.S. immigration as an international student means dealing with a lot of moving parts — OPT deadlines, H-1B lottery odds, and longer-term questions about what happens after graduation. It's a lot to figure out, especially when the rules keep changing.

​In this live town hall, Manifest immigration attorney Evan Law will take your real questions and break down what actually matters at each stage of the process — from maintaining status now to building a longer-term immigration strategy.

​Ana will cover:

• ​OPT, STEM OPT, and CPT — how they work and what to watch out for

• ​H-1B basics and how to plan around the lottery

• ​Longer-term green card options for students and early-career professionals

• ​What to do if your status changes unexpectedly

• ​Common mistakes international students make and how to avoid them

​This isn't a generic overview. It's an open forum built around your specific questions and situations.

​Bring your questions — we look forward to seeing you there!
