Miller Mayer, LLP, Tompkins County’s largest law firm, offers a free webinar on February 16 from 1:30-2:30 pm Eastern time. Featuring our attorneys who have counseled area businesses for more than 25 years on business immigration, the program will provide insight to employers and workers on the April 2017 H-1B visa lottery. New regulatory definitions, new filing fees and forms, new student work benefits require a fresh look at H-1B opportunities. Attorneys Steve Yale-Loehr, Sandra Bruno, and Hilary Fraser will offer suggestions on how to successfully navigate immigration laws and regulations in employment settings. For more information and to register, please visit: http://millermayer.com/webinars.

On Friday, February 17, Miller Mayer immigration attorneys Steve Yale-Loehr and Dave Wilks will present an immigration seminar to students at the Rochester Institute of Technology. This seminar will provide guidance to those students seeking to enter the U.S. workforce, as well as those hoping to start their own businesses. Immigration can have many pitfalls for foreign students after graduation, especially if the foreign student hopes to start a business in the U.S. Limits on where an employee can work, as well as authorized time in the U.S., can throw a wrench in a student’s professional goals. In the morning, Dave and Steve will speak at the University of Rochester Simon School of Business discussing the EB-5 visa program and other paths for immigrant entrepreneurs. For more information, please e-mail Dave at djw@millermayer.com or Steve at syl@millermayer.com.
