Help others on the journey and build your lasting impact.
Become a mentor
You don't need to be a CEO to mentor. If you're a Senior, mentor a Junior. Look for people in the position you were 2 years ago—offer resume reviews or mock interviews. Teaching helps you master skills, and the person you mentor becomes a 20-year contact. Keep an emergency 'Red Folder' with $1,500-2,000 for flights, visa copies, and lawyer contacts.
Lead in your community
Don't just attend events—help run them. Volunteer for non-profit boards or lead industry Special Interest Groups (Women in Tech, International Professionals). Community leadership is a green flag for EB-1 and EB-2 NIW Green Card applications—it proves 'Exceptional Ability' serving U.S. national interest.
Share your story
Teach online to build your Personal Brand. Write one LinkedIn post per week about problems you solved or lessons learned. Contribute to Open Source on GitHub. When hiring, look for international candidates and refer hard-working students. Build a tribe of successful people who remember you helped them—your long-term safety net.
