Mark Rhoads and Helen Konrad, experienced immigration lawyers from the law firm of McCandlish Holton in Richmond, VA, and nationally-prominent speakers on the subject of immigration law, will visit campus to hold a "Work Visa" workshop for international students. The workshop will focus on work visa options for international students after graduation, including Optional Practical Training (OPT) and H-1B. Rhoads and Konrad will offer practical advice on job search strategies and how to deal with the H-1B quota, as well as options other than H-1B for those who qualify. They will also discuss permanent resident green card options. H-1B and green card rules are changing rapidly, and this workshop will provide the most up-to-date information available. There will be plenty of time for general questions and answers during and after the workshop.
