Thriving in the US of A

Serious Discussion

I'm 38yrs M, recently legally relocated to the US, now here for 6 months.

In on an F1-Visa, STEM course (MSc in AI) in a renown private university, and another aligned certificates in an Ivy league University, meaning I'll legally be here for another 5 years. A painful relocation after divorce, and slowdown of a major consultation business within the Philanthropy & development space. My young kids are back home with their mum. We're really tight, and yes I still provide even from a distance, and I'd love to reconnect and bring them (kids here too)

​

Curious,

With spending my time currently between caregiving and school, I'm informed this is supposedly the "land of opportunity and reinvention." I can and have seen the 'signs', and a longterm entrepreneur, I can definitely see the opportunities supported by very protected, solid structures - even for legal immigrants.

​

I am targeting a solid $20,000 income per month:

  1. Is it feasible?

  2. What are the pathways of success in this country considering my position/options?

  3. Any meaningful and/or relevant feedback from those who've been there, done that? 🤔

​

PS: I want to build and grow from here, then relocate back home to Kenya.

Not willing to live in/die for this country!!

So, kama tu wazungu, happy to extract as much benefit from here and take it back home with free business access to and fro between the two continents, Africa and the USA 🫣
