Hi, I have hard time figuring out why I'm not successful with finding an agency or a company in the US sponsoring me for work visa. I'm senior graphic designer and I welcome any feedback on this subject or just pointing me in the right direction. Would share with anyone portfolio so you can see my skills.

In general the pool for designers in the US are large, and it’s not tricky to find someone with graphic design skillsets to fill a position.

There’s also a quota for companies for which type of workers they can sponsor to enter the US.

One of my friends is an engineer in the nuclear field from another country, and when the American company where he works now wanted to sponsor him, they first had to advertise the position in the US and proof that no-one locally could fill that position.

So I don’t think that the companies are being difficult. It’s sadly super hard to get into the US unless you tick the box of a specialized knowledge worker.

Currently moved into second rounds at a senior strategy role for a F500 and case study stage for two boutique IB’s.

Would it be dumb to turn down the guaranteed FDD role and see how the others turn out?

I managed to be hired by a really good company so naturally the impostor syndrome in me is now in full gear. Obviously, I must know things to have been hired, but I feel like there's so much I still don't know about product design. I got here through short courses and some books and articles and faking it till I made it. I am thinking to take a proper PD course now that I can afford it, if not to learn something new, then to affirm what I already know.

Thoughts on this plan of mine? Hehe
