What happens when the F-1 "duration of status" rule disappears overnight — and how many employers are actually paying the new $100,000 H-1B fee?
On this episode, host John Q. Khosravi talks with Anne Rowley, Esq. of Grossman Young & Hammond about her path into business immigration law, the newly finalized F-1 duration of status rule, the real-world impact of the $100,000 H-1B fee, and a behind-the-scenes look at planning the AILA California Chapters Conference (San Francisco, first week of November).
