made the move.

Founders, researchers, engineers, and the teams that hired them. We share a client's story only with their permission.

Common journeys

Most journeys take more than one visa.

These are typical routes, shown to explain how the pieces fit. Your path depends on your record and your goals.

The founder

F-1→O-1A→EB-1A

A graduate starts a company on student status, moves to an O-1A as the company raises and grows, then self-petitions for a green card.

The researcher

J-1→O-1A→EB-2 NIW

A postdoc arrives on an exchange program, builds a publication record, and applies for a green card through the national interest waiver.

The engineer

TN→H-1B→PERM

A Canadian engineer starts on a TN, moves to an H-1B, and the employer sponsors a green card through labor certification.

The team lead

L-1A→EB-1C

A manager at a company's office abroad transfers to the U.S. office, then moves to a green card as a multinational manager.
