On April 24, Davis Malm shareholder Allison Ahern Fillo presented at the Boston Bar Association (BBA) webinar, “Not Selected in the Lottery? Visa Options Beyond the H-1B Cap.” During the program, Allison and her fellow panelist discussed creative visa options for professionals not selected in the H-1B CAP, sharing practical experience with the Early Career STEM Research Initiative J-1 program and how to mitigate risks involved with using “Day 1 CPT”, as well as other available visa options, such as O-1, L-1, and TN. The program gave attendees insight on “go to” strategies for each option and how to leverage new and existing immigration policies.

The BBA is the premier legal institution in Massachusetts, bringing together the brightest and most influential people to lead at the forefront of the profession. Their mission is 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.
