We are very pleased to have Dr. Sombo Muzata join the team at Bestman Academy as our Senior Partner.

As a Non-STEM student, she earned the self-sponsored EB-1A path to permanent residency in the USA (aka Einstein visa 😁).

A short bio and how she will help Non-STEM scholars:

@ChundaSombo

Dr. Sombo Muzata @ChundaSombo has a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration (2021) from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).

She is an international development expert, a trained accountant, and a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

She also holds an MBA with a specialization in Strategy.

For her U.S Permanent resident application, Dr. Muzata carefully built her evidence as a student and went for the EB-1A- a highly conserved path for people with extraordinary ability.

Dr. Muzata got her EB-1A approval before her PhD graduation!

On this platform, Dr. Muzata will be our expert on Non-STEM opportunities and how we can strategize for the self-sponsored green card paths (EB-1A and NIW) as a Non-STEM scholar in the USA.

She has so much experience to share, but first, she is developing a comprehensive resource that will teach us HOW TO BUILD EVIDENCE for the self-sponsored green card paths as a non-STEM student.

Legal immigration should be straightforward for MS/PhD students in 2022.

To enhance your concentration on scholarly work, here are 6 ways to become a permanent resident (PR) in the United States.

Some are self-sponsored: no employer or marriage needed.

A short thread

1. Family-based

The most-common path to permanent residency in the U.S.

Straightforward. A citizen sponsors you- as a spouse, or as their child, or sibling.

A lawful permanent resident (aka green card holder) can sponsor you as a spouse.

2. Employment-based immigration

Find an employer to sponsor your PR. Typically, you'd have to begin work with an H-1b work visa with the employer before transitioning to PR status.
For this to happen, employers must prove that no US worker is available to fill the position.

I almost passed my GRE or English test. If other requirements are strong, can I still submit my graduate school application?

It depends.

Here's why!👇

A short thread
#phdchat #phdforum #phdvoice #AcademicTwitter #edchat

Your chances will depend on how the application review process works for your intended program. Unfortunately, it is mostly hard to tell from the outside looking in.

For some programs, they use the test scores as an initial metric to screen out applicants when they have many applications than they can handle.

In this case, you are at risk of early rejection if you don't meet their minimum scores
