This workshop trains participants to navigate complex F-1 immigration cases with confidence. By exploring case studies, participants will learn to navigate the gray of F-1 regulations. Trainers will refer to the hierarchy of authority and share advising best practices. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of immigration regulations.

Learning Objectives:

  • This workshop will explore advanced F-1 student case studies. We will examine real life examples of complex F-1 student cases, exploring regulations and guidance, hierarchy of authority, institution policies, and advising best practices.
  • Participants will gain confidence in researching complex case studies and learn how to interpret the "gray" of F-1 regulations.
  • Participants will leave this workshop with the ability to implement new advising best practices with their ISSS teams.
