Fragomen attorneys Basim Kamal, JD, Senior Associate (Washington, DC) and Sameen Ahmadnia, Associate, will be leading two panels at the 2025 NAFSA Region II Conference. Their sessions will focus on immigration pathways and policy developments affecting international students, scholars, staff, and faculty. 

Self-Sponsored Green Card Options for International Students, Staff, & Faculty
Friday, October 24, 2025 | 2:30 – 3:20 PM MDT

This session will outline self-sponsored permanent residency pathways available to international students, scholars, staff, and faculty. The discussion will cover employment- and family-based options, regulatory requirements, and considerations for maintaining underlying nonimmigrant visa status (F-1, J-1, or work visa) during the green card process.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify pathways available for self-sponsored permanent residency.
  • Understand how green card options impact nonimmigrant visa status.
  • Review strategies for coordinating with individuals to maintain status during the process.

Recent Executive Orders and Agency Actions Impacting International Students/Scholars
Saturday, October 25, 2025 | 10:00 – 10:50 AM MDT

This session will review recent Executive Orders and related agency actions that have impacted international students and scholars. It will examine implementation by U.S. agencies such as USCIS, CBP, ICE, and DOS, and consider how the shift toward enforcement affects compliance and risk management for universities and their international populations.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain recent Executive Orders, memos, and proclamations affecting international students and scholars.
  • Describe how U.S. agencies have implemented executive directives with an enforcement focus.
  • Identify strategies to mitigate risk and maintain compliance under evolving policies.
