Ex-Apple, Tesla, & NVIDIA | From F-1 visa to Green Card: What I wish existed back when I started


When I first came to the U.S. on an F-1 visa, I had no idea how to find a job that would sponsor me. No support navigating H-1B or Green Cards. No community that truly understood what I was really going through. And building the right network? That was the hardest part.


I ended up figuring it all out the hard way.

Fortunately, I landed roles at Tesla, NVIDIA, and Apple, and eventually started Aware.ai, which allowed me to self-petition and receive my U.S. Green Card via EB-2 NIW in under 6 months. But the process? Lonely. Confusing. Stressful as hell.


So I built something I truly wish I had from the start: a close-knit platform for international students and immigrant professionals living in or planning to move to the U.S., specifically designed to help you:


✅ Find the latest tech jobs that actually sponsor visas
💬 Make Connections with other international students across the U.S via video chats
🎯 Get Career Mentorship from other internationals who've made it through
📚 Learn job search hacks tailored to international students + EB-2 green card strategy through targeted courses
🌐 Access 60+ highly curated support groups by visa type, career path, or nationality
⚖️ Get legal guidance to help you self-petition for your green card

... and more


We’re now in private beta, and I’d love to invite a few people from this community — especially those who know the struggle or are navigating this journey themselves.
