Immigration Seminar
Valdosta State University's Center for International Programs
will host a free Immigration Seminar on Wednesday, April 12, 2006,
from 2 to 4 p.m. at the University Center Theatre.
Immigration attorney, Margaret Ioannides, will present
post-graduation immigration options for F-1 nonimmigrant students,
as well as other immigration issues that face members of the VSU
and Valdosta community who work with foreign nationals. The
discussion will include an overview of nonimmigrant
employment-based visa options, including the popular H-1B, L-1, and
TN visas, as well as immigrant ("green card") options available
through employment (e.g., priority worker cases, labor
certification) or family relationships.
Ioannides has worked for over ten years in both the public and
private sectors, in the field of U.S. immigration and nationality
law. She was selected into the Attorney General's Honors Program,
where she worked as an attorney advisor at the U.S. Department of
Justice, Board of Immigration Appeals, the highest national
administrative tribunal for immigration law. She has also worked
for prominent law firms in Florida and Texas, handling both
employment-based and family-based immigration matters on behalf of
corporate and individual clients. Her written work on immigration
law topics for the Austin Human Resource Management Association has
been published in the Texas Lawyer, the Austin Business Journal,
and the Florida Bar's International Law Quarterly, and she
frequently presents to foreign students and scholars, trade, and
community groups regarding immigration and related legal
issues.
Ioannides will be available for a question and answer session
following her presentation. This seminar is free and open to the
general public. For additional information, please contact the
