SEAHO Report - Winter 2022 - 46

FEATURE ARTICLES
search was narrowed down heavily and extremely limited, but I knew deep down, I was not ready to go home
yet, so I would ensure to find an institution that fits my criteria. Along came the University of North Carolina
at Greensboro, my current place of employment. I am currently in the process of achieving my H-1B visa and
although it is not 100% guaranteed, the support and quick action displayed by the department has been
touching.
For any international graduate students who may be about to graduate and start your search be sure to
inquire from the jump about H-1B sponsorship. I can guarantee that you would not want to waste your time or
the institution's time.
Finally, although this journey is far from over, some of the things I have learned along the way:
* Trust in the process. I have learned that everything may not always go as planned, however, not
getting too worked up about it, goes a long way.
* Lean on your support system. My family, friends, graduate school friends as well as some of my
professional mentors have been my guiding light throughout this entire process, knowing that I have
all of these individuals in my corner is what motivates me day by day.
* It's okay to cry. There would be moments when I would just want to burst into tears when I think
about everything that this process has taught me. Knowing that there is a level of uncertainty to it
still rattles my mind.
* Taking a break is fine. There were moments during the search when I chose to do nothing because I
knew it wasn't worth stressing over and whatever was for me, would come for me.
* Don't stop enjoying life. I've had conversations with my coworkers and friends and they ask " what
would you do if it doesn't go through? " and my response would be a subtle, " keep on enjoying life " .
I can't put my life on pause because of a small inconvenience, I can take a break for as long as I want
to, but I will always end up enjoying life once I have it.
