This session will guide attendees through the Skilled Worker visa route which is the most common long term work visa route available in the UK for recent graduates.
Attendees will be provided with the key criteria for the route along with their benefits and any restrictions to allow attendees to make informed decisions moving forward in light of the UK government's recent announcements, especially around gaining permanent residence in the UK.
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm (EST)
Join Parminder Sandhu and Kimberly Grant of Fragomen for a timely overview of the Department of Homeland Security’s shift away from the traditional “Duration of Status” (D/S) framework that has governed F international student and J exchange visitor admissions for decades. The proposed rule assigns fixed admission end dates on I-94 records tied to SEVIS program end dates, reduces grace periods, and requires USCIS filings to extend stay — a major procedural change for universities and students alike. We’ll discuss how this would affect advising, student planning, compliance reporting, and institutional risk management. The presentation will provide practical guidance on what international student offices and students should be preparing for and considering now and in the months ahead. Current D/S policies remain in effect until the rule is finalized.
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm (EST)
Participants will explore how storytelling can strengthen coaching, advising, classroom conversations, and career programming for international students. They will leave with practical ways to use short stories, reflective prompts, and culturally aware framing to help students not only hear career advice, but understand how it applies to their own lives.
