I need a visa, not a MasterCard...

Please check out the updates section at the bottom to stay up to date on the progress and plans.

¡Hola! Hello!

Carmela here! I am thrilled to announce that I am applying for a work visa in the U.S.! What a dream... Over the past several years, I’ve had an incredible time learning, studying, skiing, working, and soaking in everything the U.S. has to offer. But now it’s time to get serious, and I need some help.

The visa process is complicated. Many people don’t realize how challenging, stressful, and uncertain it can be. There are many types of work visas, but the nature of the ski industry narrows down the options greatly. In fact, the visa I am applying for is based on a lifetime of dedication to sports and skiing, combined with my qualifications and work ethic that made it possible for me to meet the criteria for it. I am beyond excited about this opportunity to continue working in the ski industry, especially in such an incredible place as Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, where I can blend my passion for business and sports.

The federal government imposes strict requirements and costly fees. As a recent college graduate from Plymouth State University, my budget is extremely limited. Your financial support will help me cover the hefty fees and legal costs associated with the visa process. The funds I’m raising here will be used exclusively to pay government fees and lawyers - nothing else.

I consider myself very lucky, and I am grateful to have the chance to come back to the U.S where I’ve discovered places that feel like home and I’ve built a community of incredible people who have become family. I am eager to embark into this new journey and embrace what the future brings.

As a thank you for your support, I’ll be offering something special to those who donate above a certain amount. I will share more about this in the near future, but from my perspective, it is something pretty cool with a personal touch that I am excited to give back as a thank you for helping me accomplish my dream.

If you would like to support my journey outside of financial help, please don’t hesitate to contact me with your ideas. For any other concerns or questions you might have, please contact me through Gofundme.

IMPORTANT: For those of you donating from abroad, GofundMe does not charge any other fees. However, donations will be charged in dollars and you might want to check with your bank if they charge any extra fees.

Thank you in advance to everyone who helps me continue this incredible adventure!!! I truly appreciate your support and any amount you can help me with will be celebrated!

¡MUCHAS GRACIAS!
