Join Fragomen legal professionals for our international student webinar series–in partnership with Interstride–where we’ll explore hot topics in global immigration and provide insights into post-graduation options for living and working in various countries.

The webinars will be recorded and distributed to all registrants after each session concludes (we encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live in order to gain access to the recordings!)

This presentation will explore long-term U.S. immigration planning options for international students looking beyond student visas. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor visa and Trump Gold Card are pathways to lawful permanent residence and provide alternatives to employer-sponsored immigrant visas. The presentation will provide a clear, high-level overview of eligibility requirements, benefits, and financial considerations. Attendees will learn how these visas may fit into broader academic and career planning strategies for those seeking to establish themselves within the United States. Designed for international students and families, the session focuses on foresight, risk awareness, and practical questions to consider early.
