And so if we are looking to have an America that is going to be prosperous for our children [and] our grandchildren, we need to keep the eye on the ball of making sure that the next generation of entrepreneurs come to the U.S. And this is where we have the next Google and the next thing that's going to change the world.” - Tahmina Watson, (7:15)   “One of the things that is so important for me to explain so that people understand it is that when businesses cannot fill their positions, who is the loser? It's the American consumer that is the loser. It's the American tax purse that is the loser. You know, we are not helping ourselves by not thinking about the various tools that can solve our economic problems, and immigration is one of those tools.” - Tahmina Watson, (9:33) “I love being here. America's given me my home. My children are here, and I want a country that my children can prosper in and their children can prosper in. And I think we need to use our voices with every tool possible—particularly immigration—to make that happen.” - Tahmina Watson, (13:27)

“Why would anyone have a hobby? What's the point?” These questions and more were normal, everyday logical thoughts from Tahmina Watson, an Immigration Lawyer who changed her entire perspective on herself, her career, and life after discovering meditation and a joy-filled hobby as a result.  Tahmina joins me to share her story of how her newfound joy and connection to nature through birding has helped her become a better lawyer, mother, wife, and fellow human being.  She shares her relatable experience of being too busy, striving to make a bigger impact and take care of more people, and being a mother caring for her children - leaving little to no time to sleep, let alone find an activity just for the joy of it.  Tahmina demonstrates how now that she's found exactly that, she's astonished at how much her life has expanded in new and amazing ways. So if you've ever wondered how anyone could find the time to meditate, or enjoy a leisurely activity, and a good reason to make it happen - this episode is a must-listen!

Author and Blogger, regularly quoted and published in the media, Author of the Startup Visa and legal Heroes. Also founded a non-profit called WIDEN to train and mentor lawyers to help detained immigrants. Co-founder of Airport Lawyer that provided critical help during the travel ban crisis. On today's podcast, we will be chatting about "What Visas are available to expats pilots wanting to work in the USA" A very warm Welcome to the podcast Tahmina Watson   Tahmina answers some of the questions asked below during the podcast or answers questions as part of the conversation. The conversation between Tahmina and David discuss a number of airlines throughout the podcast. The Wellbeing and Career World podcast and guest Tahmina Watson have no association with any of the Airlines or Individuals mentioned within those Airlines.   1)I gave a brief introduction about your background, Can you let our listeners know more about your background? 2) Tahmina, there are so many articles in the news and social media informing of a Pilot shortage in the USA and how airlines are helping expats pilots obtain Visas to work in the USA. Is it so easy what these reports are saying? 3) I want to first ask you about the E3 Visa. There is an article from Business insider about Australian expat pilots having an opportunity to work for Breeze Airways, that article mentions "Australian pilots will be able to work as Breeze pilots under the E-3 work visa program in a little-used but not unprecedented solution to the pilot shortage. Skilled Australian nationals can apply to legally work in the US and regional airlines including CommutAir and ExpressJet Airlines have used the program to recruit pilots from the country. "It's an opportunity to give good, hardworking, well-qualified folks jobs who want to live in the US [and] want to be a pilot for a US airline," Owens said. 4) Are there any Visas available to unemployed/ex-pat pilots to gain access to employment in the USA? 5)Are these Visas expensive and what is the time span from application to setting foot in the USA for work?6) If the reported pilot shortage in the USA is fact, then why not make it easier for expat pilots to obtain a visa from all countries.? 7) What are the first steps do you recommend to a pilot wanting to obtain a visa in the USA? 8) I have some questions sent in from Pilots looking for more information: Which are the effective operational limits to the NIW EB-2 visa ?Is it possible to obtain any visa without any sponsor?Will my application cost large amounts of money? Is it possible a special unit can be formed by the USA immigration office only for pilots that could help solve the Reported pilot shortage and reported transportation issues . If i get a visa, is it permanent or renewable? If i obtain a visa, can i apply for permanent residency? 9) Is it worth contacting airlines to ask them about possible opportunities for ex-pats? 10) What about the financial status of the pilot, for example: is proof of savings and being able to support oneself criteria of the application? Question 11) Is there anything else I may have missed out which you feel is important to share? 12) Where can listeners find you on social media?   Tahmina and her team have kindly provided the links below ans hope you can find the information you need.

She failed along the way, a lot.  Once she fell in love and moved to the US with her husband, she had to become a lawyer all over again to meet US criteria.
