20 Free Calls (And I’m Just Getting Started)

20 Free Meetings in 2 Weeks.

On top of working full-time, teaching two MBA-level courses, consulting for an education conglomerate, and raising four young children…

I’ve done 20 free calls with international students in the past two weeks.

Why?

Because I’m crazy?
Maybe just a little.

But mostly because I see the need.

I see the proposed Duration of Status rule change.
The weekend drop of new visa embassy guidelines.
The H-1B fee jumping to six figures.

And now, more than ever, international students need answers.
Reliable answers. From trusted sources.

After nine years in this field — including during Trump’s first term — I know it’s my responsibility to step up.

That’s why I’m offering free 15-minute Roadmap Sessions.

You book a time (sometimes even same-day), and we talk through whatever’s keeping you up at night —
work authorization, green card paths, NIW, EB-2, or anything else.

Now, this is the part where Business School says I should tell you the “retail value” of these calls…
I’m “supposed” to price-anchor and show you how valuable this offer is.

But I’m not going to do that.
Because you’re the ones living this uncertainty.
You’re the ones losing sleep over what to do next.

To me, this isn’t about assigning a dollar amount to a free conversation.
The turbulence in the air right now says it all.

So if you haven’t booked a time yet — let’s talk.

Whether it’s about OPT, H-1B, or your long-term visa strategy…

I’m here.

Always on Your Side,
Dr. Josh
