Take Charge Of Your Immigration Education: A Workshop For International Scholars
10:30 - 11:30 a.m. Eastern via Zoom
Presenters:
- Paola Cepeda, Ph.D., Director of the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at Washington University in St. Louis
- Natalie Chernets, Ph.D., Director of Postdoctoral Affairs and Professional Development at Drexel University.
Your career success as an international postdoc in the US depends not only on your skills, credentials, and experience, but also on your ability to obtain a work visa or permanent residency as fast as possible. To secure the right immigration status, you need to assemble an immigration portfolio, similar to a job application package. An immigration portfolio helps you stand out and includes evidence of your credentials, work experience, international recognition, and the importance of your work. Unlike job packages, immigration portfolios are more robust and less understood. Preparing an immigration portfolio is like building a network--it takes time, effort, and knowledge. Come learn how to use your professional development activities to create an immigration portfolio by prioritizing activities that satisfy the immigration criteria for substantial merit or the National Interest Waiver while increasing competitiveness for diverse careers.
