Student Visa Issues: Protecting Your Status While You Focus on School

K Altman Law helps international students (F-1, J-1, and dependents) navigate immigration and campus challenges tied to academics, conduct, work, and travel—so you stay enrolled, eligible, and on track. We advise on course load changes, medical or mental-health leaves, withdrawals, and program extensions, and coordinate with your DSO to prevent SEVIS termination during academic or disciplinary issues. Our team also assists with transfers, level changes, and timely I-20 updates. For work authorization, we review CPT, OPT, and STEM OPT eligibility, draft compliant employer letters, and respond to RFEs or reinstatement needs. We also guide visa prep, travel planning, and documentation to reduce reentry or compliance risks. Our approach is practical and student-centered – clarify goals, align school and immigration rules, and act quickly to protect your status, eligibility, and future.

When NIL Deals Go Sideways, We Set Them Straight

K Altman Law helps student-athletes protect their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights when things get complicated. NIL deals move fast – and disputes with collectives, brands, agents, or promoters can escalate quickly. Our education-focused team represents high school and college athletes in contract conflicts, eligibility challenges, and reputational issues such as defamation or social-media misuse. We also intervene when schools or conferences impose unfair restrictions or violate due process. From the first call, we assess leverage and map strategy to meet your goals – whether that’s getting paid, restoring eligibility, or exiting a one-sided deal. We negotiate firmly and resolve most issues efficiently, but pursue emergency relief, grievances, or litigation when necessary. Because NIL sits at the crossroads of contract law, school policy, and athlete rights, our background in student defense and Title IX ensures your academic standing and eligibility remain protected. We review and draft NIL agreements to clarify deliverables, safeguard intellectual property, and ensure compliance with state and institutional rules. For families and advisors, we provide clear guidance on conflicts of interest, agent relations, taxes, and disclosures – preventing small issues from becoming season-ending problems. If you’re facing a payment dispute, eligibility concern, or contract pressure, or want a clean, compliant deal, K Altman Law is ready to help. Schedule a confidential consultation to protect your rights, reputation, and future in sport.
