Aside from Optional Practical Training (OPT) for F-1 students and Academic Training (AT) for J-1 students, what other work options exist for international students? Learn from professionals! The law offices of Goldstein & Cheung will take us through some of the most common non-immigrant visa categories such as H-1B, as well as corporate options for international entrepreneurs, and permanent residency. There will be a short Q&A for work-related questions after the presentation.

The O-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the individual who possesses "extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or who has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements." OGS will host immigration lawyer Elisabeth Ames from the Law Office of Elisabeth Ames, to discuss the O-1 Visa for Individuals of Extraordinary Ability (also called “the Artist Visa""). No matter what your major is now, if you are seeking to work in the US in the Arts, Business or Education, come to this workshop to learn more about the O-1. You will learn not only about how one is eligible, but also the process to apply, especially about the evidence needed, from expert professionals in the field.
