I highly recommend the UNSHACKLED COMMUNITY for ambitious immigrants to meet and empower each other to get talent visas — and for life beyond
Unshackled.club IS AN EXCLUSIVE COMMUNITY.
Unshackled.club was built for ambitious immigrants who contribute significantly to their fields⸺and have big dreams for their future.
YOU SHOULD ONLY JOIN IF:
- You have a basic understanding of talent visas, especially the O-1A, EB-1A, or EB-2 NIW. If you don't, no worries. Enroll for our free course.
- You are clear about your motivation for getting a talent visa. E.g. starting your company, quitting your job, getting freedom via green card, etc.
- You are willing to invest time and effort into the community and your future.
YOU SHOULD NOT JOIN IF:
- You're looking for a "hack" to get your green card. There is none.
- You want hand-holding through every step of the process until you file. We look for members who are proactive and make use of our resources well.
- You come from a field that we don't have resources for. E.g. artists, actresses, chefs, etc. Our community is geared toward tech, STEM and business fields.
Sounds like you? Awesome.
This is the place for you.

To me, Unshackled was the starting point of discovering a wealth of community, experiences, and resources that have been a friend through a pretty complex process. From simple tips to accessing others who were in similar boats to always having someone willing to help, the community has been unmatched.

Founder, CORE Diagnostics. EB-1A and 2x O-1A Recipient
The most underrated benefit I got from the Unshackled community was the emotional support. I got an RFE during my O-1A journey and it was extremely painful, emotionally. I can't recommend joining the community enough.
Hitesh Kenjale
Co-Founder of DesiHangover. UC Berkeley MBA Graduate. O-1A Recipient
I wish I had found the community earlier in my EB-1A journey. It could have saved me a lot of time and research. And, it would've given me a chance to meet others like me from my field, get their feedback, and made my petition better.
Aswarth Abhilash Dara
Staff Software Engineer AI/ML at Walmart. EB-1A Recipient
The biggest thing I got from the community was the belief that I could actually qualify for the O-1A. It wasn’t this giant, monolithic thing meant only for a select few. As long as I was doing good and strategically building my case, it was possible for me to get the visa. Since getting it, I’ve had the peace of mind I needed to get back to what actually mattered: building my company.
Digvijay Singh
Head of Product at DrizzleHealth. O-1A Recipient
I joined the community only a few weeks ago. I've already been able to book a call with an EB-2 NIW recipient, who has now become a mentor of mine that I talk to regularly.
Imran Khan
RAN Visualization Engineer at Samsung
I am immensely grateful to the Unshackled community for the support I got throughout my EB-1A process. The resources & personal stories shared there gave me the confidence to get through a rather overwhelming process. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone in their EB-1A process to join this space! I’m now just a month away from filing my case. Fingers crossed.

About the founder
Meet Soundarya, the founder of unshackled.club.
I'm a founder, 2x author, and ex-product manager from Salesforce. I graduated from Columbia University with a master's in Management Sciences.
Honestly, I never dreamt of starting a community to help immigrants get talent visas. It happened because of an insane 2.5-year journey that I went through to get my O-1A visa as a solo founder.
By the end, I knew that if I had a community like this, it would have cut my time in half and made the journey less lonely - and a lot more enjoyable. That's why I built this.
