Join Our Twitter Space: Immigration Law and Tech
On Tuesday, April 26, at 2:30 p.m. PDT/5:30 p.m. EDT, we’re hosting a Twitter Space with Sophie Alcorn, an immigration law attorney based in Silicon Valley and author of the popular column "Dear Sophie" on TechCrunch+.
A Conversation About Immigration Law and Tech
We’ll be discussing a range of relevant issues for technology workers and founders who are considering setting up shop in the U.S. This includes:
- H-1B visas: We’ll explore the ins and outs of this popular visa option, including how to increase your chances of getting selected.
- Pathways for international student founders: If you’re a foreign national with a business idea, we’ll discuss the various pathways available to you, from O-1 visas to EB-5 investor visas.
- What to do if you weren’t selected in the green card lottery: We know it can be disheartening to not get picked, but there are still ways to navigate the system and potentially obtain a green card.
Support for Ukrainian IT Community
We’ll also be discussing information specifically tailored for members of the Ukrainian IT community who’ve been impacted by the ongoing Russian invasion of their country. This includes resources and options for those looking to relocate or start anew in the U.S.
