What exactly is the "Unshackled Campus Tour"?

The Unshackled Campus Tour is a transformative educational initiative. We're visiting 15 top universities across the United States to educate and empower international students on navigating the U.S. immigration system. Led by Soundarya Balasubramani, it aims to simplify visa processes, empowering attendees to pursue careers and entrepreneurship in the U.S.

Scheduled for April 16, 2024, at Texas A&M, this tour is a crucial resource for international students seeking to secure their American dream.

Who should attend this?

This is 1000% for you if:

• You're a grad student (MS/PhD/Postdoc) about to graduate in 2024/2025.
• You want to build a company of your own someday in the U.S.
• You want to get a talent visa in the future (O1A/EB1A/EB2NIW)
• You want to figure out alternatives to the H-1B lottery, such as filing a cap-exempt H-1B or relocating to Canada with the same job.
• You want to meet others just like you who don't want to sit on the sidelines anymore!
  
  

What do you get by attending?

This is a FREE event for all international students.

By attending, you get:

• Free legal consultation (worth hundreds of dollars) by interacting directly with immigration lawyers and other experts at the event.
• Crucial information on immigration and visa pathways that will help you avoid mistakes, and take control of your future in America from now.
• Free resources on job search, visas, networking, company incorporation, and more that we carefully put together for you (worth $1000).

• Discounted and signed copy of Unshackled (signed by Soundarya herself at the event).
• A chance to meet 200+ other like-minded, proactive students like yourself.
• Free snacks and refreshments.
• Free swag that you can use every day!

We're spending months putting this together so you get maximum value for your time. Come take advantage of it! Spots are limited to 250.

Why attend this event?

You're at a precious stage in your immigration journey right now.

The decisions you make in the next year will shape the next 5 years of your journey in America, immigration-wise as well as otherwise.

• If you decide to start building your profile for a talent visa right now, you can possibly skip the decades-long green card backlog and apply directly for a merit-based green card.
• If you understand the options to build your startup right now, you will be far ahead of someone who has the dream to start it but lacks the knowledge or the agency.
• If you think about Plan Bs and Plan Cs from right now (such as relocating to Canada), you won't be startled when your name doesn't get picked in the H-1B lottery next year.

Come spend 3 hours at this event so you don't have to look back in 3 years and regret that you made a mistake, or didn't pursue a visa path you wish you had!
