Unshackled Annual Conference: THE Event to Be For high-skilled Immigrants in America

  • It’s the hallway chat with a founder who just got their EB-1A approved.

  • It’s the 10-minute coffee line convo with an investor who explains why your startup pitch doesn’t resonate.

  • It’s the legal strategist who corrects your entire green card plan in 5 minutes and saves you years.

That’s what happens at Unshackled Annual Conference (#UAC). Unplanned breakthroughs.

There’s no shortage of immigration advice on the internet. But if you’ve ever tried navigating a green card or building your career on a visa, you already know: most of it is scattered, outdated, or straight-up confusing.

That’s exactly why the Unshackled Annual Conference (#UAC) 2025 brings clarity, community, and career-defining strategy in one room.

✦ It’s BY IMMIGRANTS, FOR IMMIGRANTS ✦

Why does UAC matter and who should care?

  • It’s not a startup panel with generic LinkedIn advice.

#UAC 2025 is a 2-day, in-person experience built for people like you who are building in America. You're on H-1B, STEM OPT, or just started your green card journey, this conference puts the right people, strategies, and opportunities in one place. 

  • If you're a high-skilled immigrant:

  1. An engineer

  2. Scientist

  3. Product leader

  4. Student

  5. Startup founder or

  6. Working professional

    It’s the one designed for you, not just around you.

It’s about what YOU walk away with.

no one understands “legal chaos + identity crises + ambition” better than artists on visas.

Most of you come here chasing a dream: top job, stable visa, future green card.  But in reality?

You get stuck in this weird zone where you’re skilled enough to work, but not free enough to plan your life.

  • You're tied to job titles that don’t serve your long-term path.

  • You avoid risk because your visa won’t allow failure.

  • You’re unsure when (or if) your green card will ever show up.


But why ●Live? Can’t I just watch videos?

Because conversations change when you’re in the room. #UAC

  • Algorithms don’t know your visa risks. But the expert across the table does  and they’ll talk directly to you.


  • You don’t “watch a strategy.” You build it, in real-time, with people who’ve done it.

  • A single handshake can unlock a green card strategy, job referral, or investor path you’d never find on online threads.


  • When you sit beside someone who just got their EB-1A, your questions shift from “if” to “how soon.”


  • And nothing builds energy like a room full of people who are just as hungry, hopeful, and unstoppable as you.


  • Ask the hard questions. Get the nuanced truth. Not generic advice from outdated information.


  • And they’ll be right there — live, raw, real.  And that only happens when you step into rooms that shift your mindset, not just your knowledge.


  • Green card holders. Founders. VCs. Lawyers. They’ll tell you how they cracked the code to the ones who show up.

Get the how, when, and why for your situation.

Here’s what happens in real terms when you walk into Unshackled Annual Conference 2025:

  • Live, on-stage breakdowns of real green card cases (EB-1A, NIW, EB-5  even O-1 for creators and founders)

  • Lawyers in the room, answering questions that forums can’t

  • Sessions on saving $400K on EB-5 strategies, not theoretical, but how it’s actually done

  • Founders sharing how they used startups to unlock EB-1A and raise capital

  • Access to a legal lounge for personalized strategy discussions

  • AI Job Fair with immigration-aware recruiters (so your skills don’t get blocked by your status)

You leave UAC 2025 with:

  1. Green card strategy that fits your background. No more “wait for PERM to clear”

  2. Get introduced to VCs and angel investors who understand the unique journey of immigrant founders— especially those still in the early stages, long before going public

  3. Actual job leads from the AI Job Fair

  4. Clarity on EB-1A vs O-1 vs EB-5 that doesn’t sound complicated and more…
