As Duration of Status (D/S) comes to an end, international students, scholars, and their schools may face unfamiliar situations — and higher stakes for issues that once seemed routine. This webinar brings together experienced immigration attorneys to help educators recognize when students and scholars should consult legal counsel.
Panelists will cover the situations most likely to prompt a referral, from new questions raised by the shift away from D/S to longstanding issues that now carry higher stakes. Topics include:
- Extension applications
- Travel and re-entry versus filing for a USCIS extension
- Unlawful presence: how it accrues and its ramifications
- Reinstatement applications
- The transition period and who will be affected
Whether you advise students and scholars directly or serve as a DSO this session will help you recognize when a referral to immigration counsel is the right next step.
