The pandemic brought a lot of travel troubles: quarantines, consular closures, countless delays (especially for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs)). The panelists for this intermediate panel will provide a solid understanding of the basics of travel throughout the nonimmigrant process and how to utilize it as a tool. Addressing both consular– and border-based strategies, they also will cover general concepts and specific examples for pre-departure planning and applications for readmission.

- Travel as an Intentional Strategy to Activate Status
