Hi everyone, Quick update from me: I’m combining my communities into one unified Ask A DSO Community. I’ve been hosting this free community alongside a separate PRO community, and bringing everyone together will help me serve you better—with one place for updates, trainings, replays, and Q&A support. What this means for you - Nothing changes about the free support you receive. - The new unified community is still 100% free to join. - You’ll also start seeing the full roadmap of what’s available for students who want deeper support (PRO/VIP), but you’ll never be pressured—this is about clarity and access. Your action step (so you don’t miss anything) To stay in the loop, please join the new unified community here: 👉 NEW COMMUNITY LINK: https://www.skool.com/ask-a-dso/about Sunsetting timeline This current free community will remain open for a little while longer, but I’ll be sunsetting it by the end of the year. If you want to keep receiving updates, trainings, and important visa/career guidance, please make sure you join the new link above. As always, my goal is simple: to support more international students pursuing their American Dream—with clearer roadmaps, better organization, and more consistent help. See you in the new community! Always on Your Side, Dr. Josh

Community, If you're planning to work in the U.S. — internships, CPT, OPT, or full-time — there are three questions that come up every single time: 🔹 “Will you need sponsorship?” 🔹 “When should you start applying?” 🔹 “How do you network effectively so employers actually respond?” Most international students feel unsure about how to answer these… and that uncertainty can hold you back. So let’s fix that. 💡 📣 I’m hosting a live workshop inside the community with a very special guest: career coach & job search strategist Ash Cross! Together, we’ll walk you through: ✅ How to talk about your work authorization with confidence ✅ The right job search timeline (most students get this wrong!) ✅ How to network effectively ✅ PLUS — a live Q&A where you can get answers for your personal situation If you're aiming for internships, preparing for OPT, or going after full-time roles… this session will give you the clarity, strategy, and roadmap you’ve been missing. 👉 RSVP here to save your spot. Can’t wait to help you level up your job search.

Hi everyone! I’m Palak Faguniya, excited to join this community and learn from experts like Dr. Josh, as well as connect with others here.I have a question I’m curious about: Is there any link between global geopolitics and the visa process for students and If so, how can one best navigate it?

Today I’m especially grateful for the work I get to do — supporting international students who are out here chasing big goals, navigating complex systems, and building new lives far from home. Every message you send… every “thank you,” every update, every success story… it means more than you know. Your kindness, your trust, and your belief in what we’re building together fuel me every single day. This community isn’t just a resource — it’s a family. And I’m deeply grateful for all of you who allow me to be a small part of your journey. Now it’s your turn — what’s something you’re grateful for today? Drop it below 👇 I’d love to read them. 🧡 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
