This presentation will build on the discussion outlined in Module 1 and tackle the question of whether various “workarounds” proposed and implemented by NIL industry stakeholders are compliant with immigration law. Our discussion will include the following topics:

• Review of the definition of “employment” as covered in Module 1
• The role of the consular officer and the spectrum of risk involved in relying on workarounds to the F-1 rules
• Performing NIL activities outside the United States
• The concept of “passive income” and whether compliance is possible with both immigration law and the NCAA rules
• Workaround case studies – what works and what does not
