by Kadima Careers on May 3, 2023 12:00:00 PM

 

For many, the dream of working and living in America can seem far out of reach due to the grueling nature of the US Visa acquisition process. The waiting times are notoriously long, and the costs associated with obtaining a visa can be exorbitant, leaving many to question if the investment is worth the risk. Even for a visitor visa, the process can be complex and the outcome uncertain. Moreover, employment terms for visa holders can create time-sensitive limitations that further complicate the process. 

In this episode of SYCK Career, I am joined by Dr. Aditi Paul, a researcher and ex-tenured professor as she shares her personal experience as an immigrant and the challenges she faced in navigating the US immigration process. We also discuss the different visa options available to international students and professionals and the importance of being proactive in exploring alternative paths.
