Vesti, the leading migration fintech company, announces WorldForce™ a groundbreaking initiative to empower 50,000 skilled professionals across Africa with their H1B visa applications in 2024. According to the American immigration council’s website, “for FY 2024 (calendar year 2023, USCIS received 780,884 registrations, and decided 758,994 registrations were eligible”. This ambitious project aims to bridge the gap between African talent and US job opportunities, unlocking new possibilities for career growth and economic prosperity. The H1B visa program offers a coveted pathway for foreign professionals with specialized skills to work in the United States. However, the annual lottery process is notoriously competitive, with limited spots available for thousands of applicants. Recognizing these challenges, Vesti is stepping in to provide comprehensive support and guidance throughout the entire H1B application journey.
“At Vesti, we believe that African talents deserve a chance to shine on the global stage,” says Abimbola Amusan, Co-founder and COO of Vesti. “Through WorldForce™, we are not only helping individuals achieve their personal goals but also contributing to the economic development of both Africa and the United States.” According to the United Nations, over the last decade, remittance flows to Africa doubled, reaching $100 billion in 2022, surpassing the funds received through Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Vesti’s comprehensive H1B support initiative encompasses various key components. To begin with, applicants will benefit from expert guidance and application assistance provided by seasoned immigration attorneys. These professionals will navigate individuals through the intricate H1B visa process, guaranteeing the accurate and timely submission of all required paperwork and documentation upon selection and help candidates avoid pitfalls such as multiple entries (an issue the USCIS is very concerned about). Furthermore, Vesti is committed to addressing the financial challenges associated with visa applications by offering migration support loans to successful candidates. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility for qualified candidates who may face economic barriers. Additionally, Vesti will foster a sense of community and support through its growth communities for different migration pathways on the Vesti app. This community will serve as a hub where applicants can connect, share their experiences, and receive ongoing assistance throughout their visa application journey. Through these integrated efforts, Vesti aims to streamline and simplify the H1B visa application process for a diverse range of individuals.
Vesti envisions a transformative impact through its initiative to empower 50,000 skilled Africans in the H1B lottery, aiming to achieve several key objectives. As skilled workers prosper, and make remittances to develop Africa, simultaneously, the initiative aims to bridge the skills gap in the United States, offering American companies access to a diverse pool of highly qualified professionals. This, in turn, is anticipated to strengthen the US workforce and drive economic growth. Moreover, Vesti’s H1B initiative is positioned to promote cultural exchange and understanding, fostering deeper connections and collaboration between African and American communities. This collaborative approach strives to create a more inclusive and prosperous global landscape. As part of Vesti’s broader mission to revolutionize the migration experience for Africans, this H1B initiative exemplifies the company’s commitment to leveraging technology and financial solutions to make pathways to opportunity smoother, safer, and more accessible for all.
