Dear Dr. William I hope you are well. My name is Ndam Fapona Lassa (29, High School Diploma from Cameroon). I am reaching out because I am actively planning to study and eventually work in the USA. Given your presence there, I would be grateful for any advice you could offer regarding the first steps, relevant visa options (like the student F-1 visa), or helpful resources for this transition. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Ndam Fapona Lassa
