Presentation Description: Our student and scholar H1B lottery "losers" need help. This panel will explore H1B alternatives and workarounds, new and old, some quite innovative. From concurrent cap-exempt employment, to placement in Canada, to Day 1 CPT, we will dig out a full catalogue of solutions.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will learn lottery basics--numbers, registration, selection, petitioning.
Attendees will learn about many solutions, some rarely discussed, to the dilemma of the non-selectee.
Upon completion, attendees will have and be able to analyze an extensive laundry list of options to offer students and scholars, including an easy-to-use chart.
