Immigration Journey Guidance

Practical, experience-based guidance for students and professionals navigating the US immigration journey — F-1 to OPT to H-1B transitions, green card process basics (EB-2/EB-3, PERM timeline expectations, what "priority date" actually means day-to-day), and how to plan career/job moves around your immigration status.

Important: I'm not an immigration attorney and this is not legal advice. Think of this as the conversation you'd have with someone who's been through the process and worked alongside many engineers navigating it — practical context, what to expect, and questions worth asking your attorney. For anything involving filings, legal strategy, or your specific case risk, you should consult a licensed immigration attorney; I'm happy to help you think through what to ask them.

Good for: F-1 students planning OPT/H-1B timing, H-1B holders weighing job changes or green card timing, early-career green card aspirants who want to understand the process before talking to a lawyer.

Bring: Your current status, rough timeline, and the specific decision or question you're weighing.
