[Masterclass] Beyond H-1B & OPT: Paths to stay in the US [online] by Jumpstart Immigation
With recent reforms reshaping the U.S. immigration landscape, the familiar playbook no longer works. The OPT is limited, the H-1B has always been the worst path and employer sponsorship has become a bottleneck for global talent.
This live session, hosted by Jumpstart Immigration — the Official Partner of the Founder Visas Group — unpacks what’s actually working in 2025 for founders, researchers and distinguished professionals who want to stay and build in the U.S.
We’ll break down:
Why OPT and H-1B have always been a trap for immigrants.
How the new $100K H-1B fee and wage-based lottery rules are changing access.
Why early-career professionals are being squeezed out - and what to do instead.
The rise of self-sponsored visas and who qualifies.
How founders are creating their own path.
Practical timelines, success rates, and strategies that work under new scrutiny.
You’ll walk away with clarity, leverage and a realistic plan - not a lottery ticket.
Because your future in the U.S. shouldn’t depend on luck. It should depend on you.
