About F-1Careers

Built by people who lived the problem

Every year, over a million international students arrive in the US with world-class ambitions and a career support system that was not designed for them. Career offices rarely understand visa timelines. Recruiters reject candidates over paperwork that does not exist. And the students who succeed do it through fragmented advice from forums, seniors, and luck.

F-1Careers started as a green card strategy engine - helping international professionals discover the self-petition paths (EB-1A and EB-2 NIW) they could pursue without an employer. Thousands of eligibility checks later, a pattern was obvious: the visa question is inseparable from the career question. You cannot plan one without the other.

So we are building the Career OS: one platform where your degree, your dates, your target employers, and your immigration options live in a single, sequenced plan - with employers and universities on the same system, learning to meet international talent halfway.

We are educational, not legal. We never promise jobs, visas, or approvals. We give you clarity, sequence, and leverage - and we tell you when it is time to talk to your DSO or an attorney.

Principles

How we operate

Visa-aware by default

Every feature accounts for work authorization timelines. No generic career advice.

Evidence over anecdote

Sponsorship signals from data and trust-scored community intelligence, not rumors.

Students own their data

Private by default. Nothing is shared with employers without explicit consent.
