FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable for first-year students?
Absolutely. In fact, the earlier you understand the rules, the better. Attending now will help you build a strategic roadmap from day one, avoiding common mistakes that could limit your future options.
Do I need to have OPT to participate?
No. Whether you are just starting your degree, currently on CPT/OPT, or looking to transition to a work visa (H-1B, O-1), the content covers the entire timeline—from student status to Green Card.
Will the session be recorded?
Yes. All registered attendees will receive access to the recording after the live event, so you can review the strategies and legal details at your own pace.
Does this workshop guarantee a visa?
No. Under U.S. legal ethics, no attorney can guarantee a specific result or visa approval. This workshop provides the legal knowledge and strategic tools to maximize your chances of success, but it does not promise a guaranteed outcome.
Do I need advanced English to follow along?
The workshop will be presented 100% in English to align with the professional market. However, Victória uses clear, direct language (avoiding complex “legalese”) to ensure the content is accessible to all university-level students.
