Presentation Description: Looking Beyond DACA and the H-1B: Options for F-1s, DACA Recipients, and Undocumented Students
The combination of low H-1B selection rates and volatility of the DACA program make it an urgent priority to identify alternative options for F-1 students, DACA recipients, and undocumented students. This panel will cover:
- H-1B cap exempt employment and utilizing the exception for concurrent cap and cap-exempt employment - O-1 and Entrepreneur parole options - Transitioning a DACA recipient to a work visa (relies on the new Biden Executive Order) - Utilizing the J-1 program - E visas
Learning Objectives:
better understand the range of options available to international students
how DACA recipients can potentially obtain a lawful status with a willing employer
understanding how nationality might influence post-graduation work visa options for international students
