This Thanksgiving, I’ve been reflecting on something I’m especially grateful for: receiving approval for my O-1A visa. This milestone gives me the freedom to fully chase my entrepreneurial dreams, and I couldn’t have done it without the amazing people who supported me along the way. A huge thank you to Team Alma for guiding me through this process. The journey started back in August when I began exploring visa options that fit my entrepreneurial path. Coming from a Management Consulting background, I approached it with structure—researching, comparing law firms, and weighing options. From the moment I spoke with Aizada, I knew I’d found the right partner. Her deep knowledge and own experience as an immigrant female founder really resonated with me. Meeting Aizada in-person sealed the deal. Her team’s support was incredible. Luke, the attorney who managed my case, was knowledgable, transparent, and extremely efficient—getting everything filed in just four weeks (a process that often takes three or more months).
