Stanford Community,

Join Alma for an in-person session designed to help you make sense of recent disruptions to international student visas. From paused appointments to sudden policy shifts, it's been a confusing few weeks — and we’re here to talk about it.

​We’ll unpack what these changes mean and how to move forward. We'll walk through key visa pathways like H-1B, OPT, O-1, EB-1, and EB-2 etc. and share real stories of navigating the system.

​This is your chance to:

• ​Ask your immigration questions — no matter how big or small. Alma’s legal team will be there to offer honest, personalized guidance.

• ​Learn practical strategies tailored for international students, researchers, and aspiring entrepreneurs.

​Whether you’re preparing for graduation, exploring your visa options, or just trying to make sense of it all — you’re not alone. Come join the conversation and connect with others walking a similar path.
