Post-Graduation Information:
Please take the time to review this presentation by David Ware, noted immigration attorney. It provides information on post-graduation employment options for students graduating from US institutions, while also providing information on transitioning to H-1B status and permanent resident status. David Ware presented this information at UAF on April 14, 2011, and we'd like to thank him for allowing us to publish it to our website.
