I need advice or request that I’d like to discuss with you. I am reaching out with an important request regarding my planned relocation to the United States with my 14-year-old son. My goal is to secure a work visa within the next three years, and I would like to explore whether you or someone in your network might be able to assist me in this process—if it is feasible of course.

This move is critical for the safety and well-being of my family due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. In Ukraine, all young men are required to undergo mandatory military service upon turning 18 and are subsequently obligated to serve indefinitely, regardless of whether the current conflict ends in the near future. My top priority is to provide my son with a stable and secure environment, along with access to quality education. He is already studying programming and has a promising future ahead, and I want to give him every opportunity to thrive.

I hold a Master’s degree in Finance and possess skills in corporate website creation, SEO optimization, and graphic design. My LinkedIn profile, which fully reflects my professional experience. I’m almost financially independent (I have savings) and capable of covering all expenses, including visa fees, travel, and living costs for the first time.

I am seeking support from anyone who can assist in securing sponsorship, particularly with filing a petition with USCIS, as well as identifying a job opportunity that aligns with my expertise or any position that would enable me to obtain a visa. Even part-time employment would be a valuable first step, and I am confident in my ability to navigate the rest once I am in the U.S.

I fully understand that this is a significant request, and I would be deeply grateful for any assistance—whether through direct sponsorship, guidance, or connecting me with someone who might help. With three years until my son turns 18, I am proactively planning, but I also recognize the urgency of leaving Ukraine as soon as possible within this timeframe. If you would be willing to consider this or keep it in mind, I would greatly appreciate it.

Visa Options:

• For Me – H-1B Visa (Available for application once a year via lottery from March 5 to March 26)
  • The employer submits Form I-129 (Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker) to USCIS, including Supplement H, indicating my son as a dependent.
  • The petition must be certified by the Labor Condition Application (LCA) through the Department of Labor.
  • Employer’s Role: Filing the petition and paying the associated fees ($3,380–$5,685, which I am willing to cover). I will then receive the approved document (I-797).
• For My Son – H-4 Visa
  • I will file independently unless my H-1B petition is approved.

Alternatively:

• For Me – O-1 Visa (for individuals with extraordinary ability)
  • A sponsor submits Form I-129 to USCIS, along with evidence of my professional achievements (portfolio, endorsements, proof of income of $5,000/month, etc.).
• For My Son – O-3 Visa
  • I will file independently unless my O-1 petition is approved.

I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration. Please let me know your thoughts, and I would be happy to discuss this further at your convenience.

Thank you for your time.
