F-1, OPT, H-1B & Beyond: Live Q+A with an Immigration Attorney

​Join our open Q+A session with Manifest immigration attorney and former USCIS officer Evan Law.

​Whether you're approaching the end of your OPT, figuring out what comes after a visa lottery loss, or just starting to think beyond your current status, you're welcome here. Bring your questions, listen to others' experiences, and gain clarity alongside peers who are on similar paths. The goal is to help everyone walk away with a clearer understanding of possible routes, key considerations, and where deeper review might make sense.

​Topics we may explore together include:

• ​What international students and recent grads should know about O-1, EB-1A, and NIW

• ​OPT and STEM OPT timelines, how to plan your next move before the clock runs out

• ​What to do if you didn't get selected in the H-1B lottery

• ​How academic achievements, research, and publications can support a petition

• ​What makes evidence "strong" (and what can lead to RFEs)

• ​Common eligibility misconceptions for students transitioning out of F-1 status

• ​How to realistically assess your profile at your current career stage

• ​What to do if you've received a denial or RFE before

​We look forward to seeing you live!
