Navigating H-1B, OPT etc. | Office Hours with a U.S. & Canadian Immigration Attorney

We’re hosting Geeta Darubra, an immigration attorney licensed in both the U.S. (Ohio) and Canada (Ontario). She has spent 10+ years building complex U.S. immigrant and non-immigrant visa petitions, and her work centers on giving clients a clear, honest picture of their options. If you’re an international student aiming for IB, consulting, PE, or another finance role in the U.S., this session is for you.

She'll cover:

  • The $100K H-1B fee: its current status and what it means for your offer
  • The new weighted H-1B lottery and how your salary affects your chances
  • The proposed $70K OPT fee and what to do while it’s pending
  • The paused F-1 “duration of status” rule and what it would change
  • The plan to remove the 60-day grace period after a job ends
  • How to check whether a firm will still sponsor you
  • O-1 and EB-1A: who qualifies and when to start

Bring your hardest questions.
