We're excited to announce an upcoming webinar session tailored for HR Houston!

Join us on July 14th, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM CST. As organizations continue to compete for top talent, many are hiring international students through OPT and STEM OPT programs. But with increased government scrutiny and evolving compliance requirements, even well-intentioned employers can find themselves exposed to unnecessary risk. This session will help you understand employer obligations for F-1 students on OPT and STEM OPT, navigate E-Verify, Form I-983, and reporting requirements, identify common compliance risks that can trigger site visits, RFEs, status violations, and enforcement actions, implement HR documentation and recordkeeping practices that support compliance, and confidently support and retain international talent while minimizing legal and operational risk. HR professionals will gain valuable insights into navigating these compliances.

Join Emily Neumann, Managing Partner, and Steven Brown, Partner of Reddy Neumann Brown, P.C., for a practical, HR-focused webinar designed to help you navigate the complexities of employing international student talent while protecting your organization from compliance pitfalls.
