Testimonials

A trusted immigration solution for foreign national clients

Our clients appreciate working with Open Avenues! The program provides an alternative path for individuals to live and work in the U.S. when their employment here is urgent and important and if they aren't qualified for an O-1 yet or can't afford to wait for the H-1B lottery. It's wonderful being able to offer our clients an alternate path. Not only are our clients' lives and companies changed, but it's amazing to pay it forward and improve the quality of U.S. STEM education for our students!

The Open Avenues Foundation has proven to be an invaluable partner for my practice. The Build Fellowship has ensured that my clients are able to retain key foreign talent while participants can continue to develop their practical skills in the United States. This is an essential solution to problems posed by an unpredictable immigration landscape.

Every year the H-1B cap lottery gets worse and the odds are stacked against employers and their candidates who require an H-1B work visa. I am very glad to have found out about Open Avenues [Build Fellowship] and its unique model to facilitate concurrent H-1B opportunities— it is definitely worth checking out.
