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.
Have 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
FYI O-1 is received through an employer who will file on your behalf. That said, the employer can be yourself
Thanks for clarifying!!
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 :')
