Client Project

VisaConnect

A community platform for visa workers in the US — connect with peers, get help, and access a built-in marketplace.

LIVEClient projectReactNode.jsCommunity

Overview

Community platform helping US visa workers (H-1B, L-1, OPT) connect with peers, find advice, and access a marketplace for visa-related services — structured where Reddit is not, specific where LinkedIn is not.

The Challenge

Visa workers navigate a confusing, isolated process without a centralized and trustworthy community. Existing options — Reddit, LinkedIn — lack the structure, context, and safety that visa-related discussion requires.

Solution

Structured community with topic-based forums, direct peer messaging, and a service marketplace for vetted providers. Real-time notification infrastructure keeps conversations active without polling.
