What is Differentiation Focus Strategy?

Startup Visa: What should be the strategy of a person coming to US through a consultancy firm?. How can they focus on their own career instead of serving the interests of the consultancy firm that brought them here?.

  • Please elaborate on the strategy for the first six months, 1 year and 5 year Horizon. We see a lot of cases where folks stick to their original company, which does not apply for their Green Card in time. When folks realised this mistake, often it is too late for them to take some corrective action. We at http://svtouch.com are planning to develop an app to guide folks on the right career moves after coming to the US. Many times I see people not knowing about 401K even after living here for 2-3 years. I feel that there is a strong requirement for a tool that is a comprehensive guide for expatriates working on H1 Visa.

  • Answer:

    Learn Driving and familiarize with the left hand driving. This should be done as early as possible It would be a good idea to learn to cook. Buy Medical Insurance /Home Insurance Investigate options for Auto insurance and find out the one right for you. Insurance premiums vary widely between different companies. If your spouse is on a H4 Visa and if he/she is interested in working then joining school would be a good idea for them. Study tax laws and understand the tax deductibles and standard deduction. Build credit history by taking a secured credit card. Meet people from other communities instead of living with just your own community Awareness on local culture and customs is very important. I would recommend to join local groups on meet up and suggest to participate in what ever events you could.

Lets us answer your queries, so what to do in the first 6 months while in US: 1.   First of all need to know where to live and how far is office. Also how will you travel and what is the best way to do so, do you need a car, tube, taxi, etc for this or no. Basically need to know about how to travel and where to live to do some work in future. 2.   Need to learn driving a car, also it is left hand driving country, so need to adjust for the same and take the driving licence in good time. 3.   Most important thing for anyone in US is to take health insurance. All treatments and everything medical is really expensive, so having health insurance in US is a must and one of the most important thing for any one who reaches US. After all this, then you should need to know this: 1.   What is the taxation in US for any kind of income. Need to know about your salary tax, community tax, etc. 2.   IF you have spouse or your children, then which college or school will they take admission in, what is the price, and what is good in there to take admission in. 3.   Start building credit history for your future. Whenever you want to loan a car or want to buy a flat but need to take mortgage then need to have good credit history, so you should pay all the bills and invoice in time. 4.   Make friends around too to have good time whenever you have time to kill. Lastly, American English is really different from other English style. So need to take Accent learning classes too.
