Wildes & Weinberg, P.C. Managing Partner Michael Wildes recently returned to the Beren Campus of Yeshiva University in Midtown Manhattan to present a workshop on Hot Topics in Immigration Law that foreign students are facing.
Continuing with his desire to inform the public, Michael once again offered a free U.S. Immigration and Nationality Law seminar. The presentation was organized by Jennifer Golden, MA, International Student and Scholar Advisor.
The students, who are here as F-1 visa holders, were curious as to the best option for putting into practice the theoretical lessons learned in the classroom. Mr. Wildes discussed the employment authorization options these students could possibly avail themselves of. Specifically, Mr. Wildes covered STEM, OPT, how to obtain a social security number, as well as a discussion on a variety of nonimmigrant visa options such as B-1/B-2, H-1B, J-1, L-1, TN, etc. Moreover, Mr. Wildes emphasized that it was of paramount importance that these individuals maintain proper immigration status at all times. A question and answer session proceeded the lecture.
