Sponsored by the Tufts International Center and presented by immigration attorney Mary E. Walsh, a partner at Iandoli Desai & Cronin, P.C., a firm specializing in US immigration law.
Description: US immigration regulations do not clearly define employment and never contemplated the new era entrepreneurs, influencers and social media. In a time where it seems many students and scholars are interested in launching a new business endeavor, foreign nationals must beware and tread carefully. What activities may count as employment? What should non-immigrant students and academics know about launching a business at various stages of their immigration journey? What options exist for work authorization both in the short-term and longer-term alternatives. Find out the answers to these questions and more during this session.
