Post-Graduation Pathways
Support students in adopting strategies towards a work visa or green card now, not after graduation.
Who it's for
Students in their final two years of study, including graduate students
Students who wait until graduation to think about their immigration future often discover their options have already narrowed. Post-Graduation Pathways maps out available visa categories and what students should be doing right now to keep every door open.
What's covered
- Immigration pathway planning and visa overview
- OPT, STEM-OPT, & CPT: eligibility, timing, and the rules students often get wrong
- The unique rules of self-employment and entrepreneurship
- H-1B: how the lottery works and why early planning matters
- O-1A: what it is, who should be building toward it, and how to start now
- Self-sponsorship and entrepreneurship options
- Practical steps students can take today to expand their options after graduation
Why it matters
A student's immigration pathway isn't determined at graduation, doors open or close over years. Give students a realistic, attorney-informed blueprint so they can make informed choices about coursework, research, and career planning to expand their available visa pathways.
