On May 15, Allison Ahern Fillo presented on the Boston Bar Association’s (BBA) webinar, “Not Selected in the Lottery? Visa Options Beyond the H-1B Cap.” Ms. Ahern Fillo and her fellow panelist discussed creative visa options for professionals not selected in the H-1B CAP, detailing relevant considerations, practical experiences, common questions, and potential implications for each option. The program also provided insight on “go to” approaches for each option and how to leverage new and existing immigration policies. Ms. Ahern Fillo is the BBA Immigration Law Section co-chair. She presented on a similar BBA webinar in 2024.

The BBA is a leading legal institution in Massachusetts, with a mission to advance the highest standards of excellence for the legal profession, facilitate access to justice, foster a diverse and inclusive professional community and serve the community at large.
