“In 2020 I obtained from the US government the “Alien with Extraordinary Skills” visa.  So, today I am a permanent resident and I hope to be able to continue working to make a difference and alleviate the pain of the soul.  It seems to me that this is a difficult visa to obtain, something around 0.01% of those who apply. It is a great recognition of a journey of dedication and studies.”
