The UVA Postdoc Association’s Professional Development Committee invites all UVA postdocs to our next Expert Series event on U.S. immigration pathways. Timothy White (UVA HR Immigration Services Manager) and Polly Lawson (Responsible Officer for the J-1 Program and International Student and Scholar Advisor) will give a practical overview of key visa categories, focusing on H-1B pathways and eligibility, J-1 and F-1 OPT basics, and recent or upcoming policy changes. They will also provide a non-legal overview of employment-based permanent residence options, including where the NIW can fit into an academic career and what is appropriate to discuss with the university versus outside counsel. The session will include plenty of time for questions, so bring the topics you are most concerned about.
