Hello everyone,

My name is Mark Zheltyshev, and I am a junior-level ice dancer training and competing internationally for the United States alongside my partner, Jane Calhoun.

Figure skating has been my entire life. Every day revolves around training and improving. My ultimate goal is to represent the United States at the Olympic Games. That dream drives everything I do.

I am incredibly grateful to share that my U.S. Green Card has officially been approved. This is a huge step toward continuing to build my life and career in the United States and continuing to represent Team USA internationally for years to come.

However, the immigration process has come with significant expenses. The total cost of the legal and filing process is approximately $30,000, and while we are beyond thankful that the Green Card has been approved, we are still working to pay off these costs alongside the ongoing expenses of training, travel, coaching, and competition.

We are continuing to raise funds to help cover these immigration expenses so I can stay focused on training and continue pursuing my dream of competing at the highest level for the United States.

Any support, whether through a contribution or by sharing this message, truly means a great deal. Thank you for being part of this journey.
