Relocating Advice
Any advice on overcoming the 'sponsorship' barricade when moving to the US, especially during current times?Context - I'm female, 25 and have 6 years of Consulting + early stage VC experience.
teresaman·Jun 30, 2021teresaman·Jun 30, 2021Have you looked into the O-1 visa? It does not require sponsorship from employer and can be an agent sponsor: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/o-1-visa-individuals-with-extraordinary-ability-or-achievement
Thank you, I will check it out! Appreciate this

Marriage? But more seriously, it is almost impossible to determine what would work best for you in this case. I'd advise you talk to a lawyer so they can look into your specific case and provide recommendations.
Not marriage, but future MBA plans and change of job combined! And yes, I am actually considering a lawyer too, so fingers crossed on that end to find out a suitable solution
haha omg are you me? I am right where you are and matriculating in the fall :) Good luck - be prepared to burn lots of cash :')
