To another episode of the Expat Coffee break podcast, my name is Javier and this show is dedicated to sharing personal experiences of immigrants and telling their stories of what it´s like to move to a new country. This is part three of my conversation with my friend Martin sharing his experience immigrating to the United States. Martin immigrated to the United States from Mexico two years ago, he did it with an L1B Work Visa which is for intracompany transferees, meaning, he was already working for the company that sponsored the visa and got a job offer that led to the Visa. In this episode, Martin shares what were the cultural shocks that we´ve faced, some funny stories ordering in the drive thru, and the challenge for Martin´s son trying to interact with other children that don´t speak spanish. .

To another episode of the Expat Coffee break podcast, my name is Javier and this show is dedicated to sharing personal experiences of immigrants and telling their stories of what it´s like to move to a new country. In this episode, I will talk about some topics, questions or interesting comments I saw on a reddit community r/expats, this is a very useful comunity that I´ve used several times to get to know other expats perspectives on living abroad.

    Ep 22 Hablando temas de Reddit ESP - Estrés, presión en el trabajo, visa fácil?

    Hola a todos, bienvenidos a otro episodio de Expat Coffee Break, este es un podcast bilingüe dedicado a compartir las experiencias personales de inmigrantes y contar nuestras historias viviendo en el extranjero. En este episodio, hablo de temas en la comunidad r/expats de reddit, diferentes preguntas o temas de discusión de otras personas viviendo en el extranjero, y lo comparo con mi experiencia. Hago este contenido con la finalidad de compartir experiencias, situaciones y sentimientos de los que normalmente no te enteras. Ya que mi perspectiva es que muchas de las personas que no han vivido en otro país tienen una imagen romántica de lo que es vivir en el extranjero. Esta imagen es generada por familiares, amigos o conocidos que nos cuentan maravillas de su experiencia, así como los medios de comunicación y redes sociales que se encargan de pintártela color de rosa. Se tiende a platicar solamente de lo bien que nos va, y difícilmente se platican las dificultades que se tuvieron que superar. Esto genera una falsa expectativa de lo que es vivir en otro país, especialmente en Estados Unidos, y puede que influya en que alguien decida emigrar pensando que todo es fácil sin, saber en qué se mete realmente. Muy pocos te platican la otra cara de la moneda. Obviamente hay muchas situaciones, y dependiendo como logres emigrar, será tu experiencia. Como dice el dicho, cada quien cuenta cómo le va en la feria. Si te gusto el episodio, dale like, compártelo, suscríbete y pon en los comentarios que te parece el contenido. Estoy empezando, y me harías un gran favor si lo compartes con tus amigos. Date una vuelta por mis redes!

    Ep 21 My experience getting an L1B Work Visa

    Hello and welcome! To another episode of the Expat Coffee break podcast, my name is Javier and this show is dedicated to sharing personal experiences of immigrants and telling their stories of what it´s like to move to a new country. In this episode, I will talk about my experience getting an L1B Work Visa though my employer. This was inspired a bit by a reddit community called Expats. I posted a question asking what topics would people be interested about, and the answer was how to get a Visa. Keep in mind the main focus of this content is sharing my personal experience, I am by no means an expert, and I am not giving a guide on "how to" get a visa, each person would have a different situation or process, and in this podcast, I share my own. With my story and sharing the experiences that you don´t usually know about until you have already moved, I hope to assist in making a more educated decision to whoever is interested in immigrating to the United States, whether it is with a Professional Career and Working Visa, or trying to build up from scratch.
