Breakfast Club: Immigration for Designers

Working in an international design mecca like New York City often means the best and brightest might not be from around here. Whether you are a foreign national designer, currently on a visa but looking to change status or a hiring manager interested in a non-US resident, there are legal steps you need to take before you can start work. And it’s a process that is in constant flux as the laws change based on influences such as who’s in office, perceived terror threats and the US economy’s strength.

That’s where Lindsay Curicio, Attorney at Law and Adjunct Professor, New York Law School, can help clarify the process, identity common problems and mistakes and provide strategies on how best to navigate an at best anxious experience. If this sounds like you, you need to be at this last breakfast club of the season: you’re career depends on it!
