Moving Together
The largest gathering of high-skilled immigrants in America. This is YOUR conference.
For years, the immigration system has felt confusing, restrictive, and often isolating. But at Unshackled Annual Conference 2025: It’s the movement where ambition meets real answers and green card wins.
➠ This is where you stop searching in the dark.
➠ This is where you meet the advocates who get it.
➠ The founder who’s done it, and the Venture Capitalists who backs it.
Why should you care about this conference?
You're stuck on H-1B with long wait times, no freedom to move jobs, and no clear idea when (or if) your green card will come through. Maybe you're on STEM OPT and wondering if your dreams will be derailed by a single H-1B lottery miss. Or maybe you're just done waiting in line.
If that’s you, you’re not alone. For those tired of waiting, tired of hoping, and ready to take control of their immigration journey.
This session will break down:
The truth about EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1, and EB-5—what works now. Get expert breakdowns on timelines, risks, and how to avoid common profile-killing mistakes.
Mindset shifts you must make to go from reactive to strategic. Immigration Strategies for Founders:
Thinking of launching your startup? Learn how to use your business to stay and scale in the U.S. From E-2s to O-1s to EB-1A for entrepreneurs.
Tactical moves like switching visa categories, building an EB1A portfolio, or using fractional jobs smartly. You’ll hear from investors, immigration lawyers, and financial strategists who break down capital stacks, regional centers, and the infamous "loan strategy" that could save you $400K.
Case studies from immigrants who moved from layoffs or visa denials to permanent residency.
