A little life update. I lost my H1B 🥲 But - I'll start a new chapter in Toronto, Canada, starting May 7, 2024. Thank you so much guys for supporting my channel. The new chapter will only be better.

I went through a similar situation and had to leave 10 years of life in the US behind last year. I'm still working to get it all back in balance, but I moved to Mexico and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I felt I grew so much as a person, which has made all the difference in my personal mental health. Your videos have been so inspiring to me Aliena, sending all good vibes toward your path! Stay strong, you got this!

I am so sorry you have to go through this mess. Wishing you smooth travels and a soft landing in your new place. I've found so much inspiration in your videos, and right now I'm just thankful KZfaq crosses borders so I can keep following your journey! I also love how I can see the swings between frustration and excitement. Best of luck!

Wishing you the best in your next chapter! We will miss you!

Wishing you guys the best!

Sending you lot of love from here Aliena. You really changed my life unconsciously through your videos and I am wishing you all the best moving forward.❤❤❤

I loved watching this video. You are a sweetheart Aliena. Godspeed on your new journey.

Really sorry about this whole quick chaos... Wishing you all the best and easy settlement ❤

So sorry for the struggles you are going through, but wishing you the best on your next chapter! I was just in Toronto for a few days and did not want to leave so I am sure you will settle in well! ♥💚💚

omg I love the demonstration of the level of mess with the help of all the cups! 🤣 hang in there -- I'm sure you'll create a new stability/life for yourself soon 💜😊

My friend didn’t get hers lat year and it was literally life changing…but she’s doing okay now, also in Canada. Just gotta push through and take this challenge to your advantage

拿到签证是咱们国际身份人生中比较大的挑战。 过了这个坎你会发觉到自己心灵成长许多，以后什么问题都算小事儿。你没问题的！Fightingggg

ayy, at least congrats on the course bro!! you made it! :) Toronto is gonna be an extension of Minerva ;-)

You will be back. Wishing you the best Aliena ❤

Can't help but smile lol[love your sense of humor] Everything will be fine in the end don't worry.

both of you need folks to share your everything; whenever I am upset I go to my elder sister, and my bestie. I am on non-stem opt without any job, expiring this august. so tons going on in my head :) along with all the formalities, remember to take care of you, and that goes for both of you. best wishes :) also, I remember seeing a LinkedIn post of someone financing his own H1B. not sure if you have checked the be visas as well.

As someone with tons of friends and family that came from India and went through the same H1B struggle, even specifically a couple of relatives that had the exact same thing, got rejected by the lottery multiple times and also moved to Toronto :D ... I can totally sympathize with your whole situation. But as long as you are going through it together with your partner I am sure it will pass and you will enjoy the new chapter! Good luck!

Don't worry all is well

You know… I really appreciate what you just did here. honest fellings, show reality of your life, I don’t know… I liked it a lot. You just got a new follower (I loved over videos of you of course but maybe this is more importante to me.. to be real). I apologize if my sentences aren’t correct, I’m not super good in English. I wish you luck and energy to pass through this moment. See you soon!

hey Aliena, we are being here with you ! 顶顶顶

Hey Aliena, coming from the half SE-East Asian background who move to Western world (EU market) to chase a tech dream, I can wholeheartedly sympathize this. My entire late 20s life is filled with the series of chasing the work visa over visa, pursing the career growth at each time I immigrated into different countries every 1-4 years. As my ages grow, the desperation for living stability after all the relocations has amplified year by years. Fast forward to today, I finally found the country base where I feel it's ticked most of my goal boxes, specially striking the balance between mental health and tech hustles, and the chances to expedite the process of obtaining EU permanent residency to cease all that burden of living instability. I hope for you, one day, you can find where you feel this is your base and feeling more settled, after battling with all the work visas and life challenges. You've got this!

May Allah help you sensei It's not hard we just just have to figure it out that from now on how things works And I missed the webinar I don't know why but it's stop working on KZfaq Be strong you can do it❤

Wish you good look. And try to be a minimalist that way no more unwanted ‘stuff’ live light!

So sorry, but you'll figure it out

Hey! how are things going in Toronto? cheers from Montreal

hey did you delete your figma tutorial video where you showed how to do horizontal and vertical scrolling? i cant find,, can u give me the 🔗 asap if you haven’t??? plss its very urgent

OMG....I know how it feel to not get H1B when you are doing very well in your job. Have you considered day 1 cpt?

I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing with the H1B visa and the stress of relocating. It sounds like you’re dealing with a lot of uncertainty and change, which can be overwhelming. Here’s a summary of your situation: You’ve been unsuccessful in obtaining an H1B visa for three consecutive years, and now both you and your partner need to find a new country to live in as his visa is expiring. You’ve chosen Toronto as your next destination, but there are many logistics to sort out, including ending your current lease, finding a new apartment, and dealing with belongings like furniture, paintings, and a car. Amidst all this, you’re also managing a company and trying to stay positive despite the chaos. Remember, it’s okay to feel like a mess during such transitions. It’s a natural response to the significant changes you’re going through. Take it one step at a time, prioritize your tasks, and don’t hesitate to seek support from friends, family, or professionals if needed. You’re doing your best, and that’s what matters. Stay strong! 💪

Wait I thought the grace period was 60 or 90 days, not 1 month? Also, I’m sorry if your partner was also one of the people laid off from Google recently. Unless the last part isn’t true? I assume that because you said his H1B visa didn’t renew, making me think they laid him off.

Oh damn didn't know you were on h1b, thought you are American

I believe there’s a way to sponsor your H1B through your own LLC

Are you Canadian?

If you start your first video from canada with a tim hortons ice cap in your hand you'll win over all us canadian viewers even more lol

Oh no, damn! It's been tough for white collar workers lately

Give up the tech now! You should to be an actress, comedienne, script writer ... or all three : )

Well, at least you got a partner at Google who saved you from total disappointment lol . How many people have that sort of lottery in life. They end up having to go back to their home country instead of just relocating to a new one.

you got this! and poetic exit ha. I wonder if the mess stress is also a Chinese thing - I'm Chinese too and when ever my life is messy, it's almost like how can things that seem so unimportant (not about money or family) effect me so much and waste so much of my day?? it's almost like letting the laundry stress you out but it's lots a different laundry - I think it's a bit like microaggressions of annoyance. good video on that - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9OqZ5youNSyk6c.html also not sure what you're into but sometimes I find tarot chills me out. here's a few I like - @caraelizabethspeaks @chriscorsinitarot @MinnowPondTarot

Good things will come 🥲
