Everything in startups can change—except the people you trust. Ideas evolve, markets shift, and challenges are constant. But one thing never changes: the importance of trust in people. When Assel and I started Alma, it was just the two of us. Everyone had questions: "You're both non-technical. How will you build a product? How will you move fast enough?" But we believed in each other. That belief carried us through raising our first funding, pivoting our idea, and eventually finding the right technical co-founder. The lesson? The most critical decision in building anything is choosing people you can trust. Ideas will change. Circumstances will shift. But when you have people you trust, you can navigate anything. That’s what Alma stands for: being the trusted partner for immigrants navigating their journeys. Trust in people. It's more fun that way.

🏸 Administrative Processing is a stage in the U.S. visa application where consular officers conduct additional background checks before making a final decision. This doesn't mean your application is being denied—it simply indicates that more information or time is needed to review your case. The process can be triggered by various factors, including document completeness, security screenings, or the need for further verification. While waiting can be uncertain, it's important to stay patient, keep relevant parties (e.g., employers) informed about potential delays, and be prepared to respond promptly to any additional requests. Most Administrative Processing cases are resolved within 60 days, though timelines can vary depending on the complexity of the review. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dRY6p69i?
