Seven Stars unlock their extraordinary ability to earn a US Green Card in 6-months of 2023

Phoenix, Arizona, Sept 25, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Amongst the hardships caused by the Green Card backlog, especially for Indians in the USA who are highly specialized professionals amongst millions of aspiring immigrants, seven-star students have successfully fulfilled their US dream with the Next League Program. The Next League Program is a holistic approach to obtaining the EB1A Green Card, accentuating personal growth and development, self-discovery, and unlocking the actual extraordinary ability of an individual. 

The United States has since long practiced and made efforts by offering opportunities and preferential treatment to highly talented immigrants across Arts, Business, Education, and Sciences. Vivek B Ramu, competent in Software Performance Testing in Connecticut, expressed his journey, “EB1A seemed daunting until I joined the Next League Program. Principal Coach Ranjeet’s structured approach has boosted my confidence, and I’m now on track to achieve my EB1A goals.”

Over the years, these preferences have enabled gifted individuals, including Nobel Laureates, Business Professionals, World Class Athletes, and Renowned Artists, to immigrate to the US and live in the United States. Siddharth Sharma, a Leader in HR Digital Solutions, USA reflected on his experience, “After researching EB1A, I found the Next League Program. Ranjeet’s clarity and mentorship have been transformative, making this one of my best decisions.”

Rathnakumar Udayakumar, a Data Professional from California, USA, remarked on the program’s impact: “Joining the program opened my eyes to the importance of personal growth in the EB1A process. Ranjeet’s transformative guidance changed my perspective on the program and myself.”

Principal Coach and CEO of Next League Executive Board LLC, Ranjeet S Mudholkar (also an EB1A recipient in 2017) said, “The Next League Program is designed for highly competent professionals who can obtain their EB1A Green Card without sponsorship, lottery, or a million-dollar investment. I am delighted to coach, mentor, and guide skilled professionals to sharpen their saws to establish their thought leadership in the category. To support the Einstein-category intellects, the Next League Board LLC aims to nurture admission of global super-talent into the US.”

The Next League Board LLC aims to contribute to the US by facilitating the best global talent to its shores. Sushil Vellanki, proficient in Geospatial Engineering and Logistics, USA, highlighted the program’s benefits, “Discovering the EB1A category was a revelation. Ranjeet and the Next League Program have provided the guidance I needed to bridge the gaps in my profile and prepare for EB1A.”

Jayendran Gopalsami, a Supply Chain Management Expert in North Carolina, USA, supports the program’s methodology, stating, “What sets Next League apart is its holistic approach. It’s not just about EB1A; it’s about personal growth. The program’s curated content and coaching have accelerated my journey.”

A Digital Transformation Expert from a Global Consulting Firm in the USA shared, “Ranjeet demystified the EB1A process for me, emphasizing its essence over mere formalities. He clarified what the US seeks in immigrants and guided me through the logical steps of the application.”

Drawing on philosophical concepts of Absurdism and the Socratic Method, the program encourages individuals to create meaning in their lives and question their assumptions, beliefs, and values. The Next League Program applies this concept by encouraging individuals to control their destinies and trust their abilities without compromising the overall impact. This mindset helps individuals become their best version, establishing their extraordinary skills.

The 6-month intense Coaching Program for students pursuing their American Dream to be a US Resident by applying for the EB1A Green Card, aka Einstein Visa, consists of three phases:

Phase I: Profile Enhancement

Phase II: Scaling Knowledge Base and becoming a thought leader in your respective domain

Phase III: Creating Outreach

The Next League Program is a remote program most suited for Subject Matter Experts or professionals between 24 and 50 years of age with progressive experience in their field. In addition to its philosophical foundations, the Next League Program provides practical tools and resources to aid in the EB1A Green Card process. With access to experienced immigration lawyers, a supportive community of like-minded individuals, and personalized coaching and guidance tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals.

The United States of America is united by grand and enduring ideals, aspiring to draw the world’s best and brightest talent to American shores. Folashade Orimogunje, a Data Science Expert from the Dept. of Health, USA, emphasized the program’s transformative nature: “Joining the Next League Program was a pivotal decision. It’s not just about immediate goals but setting one up for future endeavors. Ranjeet’s experience and guidance have been invaluable.”

The prestigious Extraordinary Ability (EB1A) Green Card category offers preferential treatment to outstanding individuals across various fields, including arts, business, education, and sciences.

The Company’s HAT Deposit contains several critical metals, as defined by the federal government, which will play a significant role in positioning Canada as a net-zero nation.

BDO ESG Awards: 5th anniversary of ESG Awards kicks off with Carbon Neutrality theme – attracting overwhelming nominations

Hong Kong, Sept 25, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – BDO, the world’s fifth largest accountancy and advisory network, inaugurated the BDO ESG Awards back in 2018, becoming a pioneer in advocating companies’ acceptance of their social responsibilities through the integration of sustainable practices into their business models. With 2023 marking the 5th anniversary of the Awards, it has again sought to be both an important motivator of positive change and a symbol of excellence bestowed on companies that have excelled in the areas of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).

The 2023 ESG Awards have been well received by listed companies in Hong Kong, with overwhelming nominations. All of the winners of the various categories will be officially announced on 12 October 2023 at the BDO ESG Awards Presentation Ceremony at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, including Best in ESG Awards, Best in Reporting Awards, the ESG Report of the Year Awards, the Theme Award as well as the newly launched Outstanding ESG Performance of H-share Companies Awards.

In line with the Awards’ position as a champion of ESG excellence, it has adopted ‘Carbon Neutrality’ as the theme this year in recognition of the urgent need to combat climate change. Fittingly, this year’s Theme Award will recognise listed companies that have directed efforts in realising net-zero carbon emission and demonstrated excellence in one of three key aspects: i) biggest reduction in carbon emission (absolute and intensity) from business for the year; ii) carbon reduction initiatives launched during the year that could significantly reduce carbon emission from business in the long-run; and iii) long-term vision and action plans implemented to achieve carbon neutrality. A symposium about ‘Shaping business strategies for carbon neutrality’ will also be held during the presentation ceremony and representatives from BDO, university and industry association are invited to share their insights and recommendations with the listed companies in Hong Kong.

Ricky Cheng, Director and Head of Risk Advisory of BDO, said, “We are delighted by the strong turnout for this year’s BDO ESG Awards, which will conclude with the first physical awards presentation ceremony since the COVID outbreak. The overwhelming response of nominations is a testament to the growing prominence of the Awards, which not only recognise companies for their outstanding ESG efforts, but just as importantly, raise awareness of the need for enterprises to honour their social responsibilities by integrating sustainability into their business practices. By motivating companies to fulfil their ESG commitments, they will be better equipped to meet their compliance obligations, leading ultimately to sustainable long-term growth.”   

Earlier this year, The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited has proposed a set of new climate-related reporting requirements. The new Code, which corresponds with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S2 Climate-related Disclosures standards released by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), will call for more rigorous climate-related disclosures, hence requiring enterprises to make relevant investments in systems, processes and expertise ahead of the 1 January 2024 financial year implementation date.

“Interlinked with global warming, the major cause of climate change has been the rise in human emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, more enterprises are conscious of their responsibility to develop and adhere to a long-term ‘net-zero’ carbon emission business model to tackle climate-related risks as well as to create long-term and sustained value for all stakeholders. BDO believes the new Code will encourage Hong Kong listed companies to align with IFRS standards and continue to strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a trusted and leading financial hub for investors,” Ricky concluded.

About BDO

BDO’s global organisation extends across 164 countries and territories, with more than 111,300 professionals working out of 1,803 offices – and they’re towards one goal: to provide our clients with exceptional service.

MANILA, Sept 25, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – With technology innovations in the financial sector expanding by leaps and bounds, the Philippines is now pacing towards financial inclusion.

At a time when Philippines’ banks and other financial institutions have grabbed everyone’s attention with their commendable work, it is but obvious that behind the massive transition towards digital, there are few exceptional personalities from various domains that have disrupted the industry with their exceptional contributions.

Our goal is to provide our customers with relevant banking services – where they need it, when they need it.”

Additionally, the Company is enhancing the packaging of its other products to provide a trendier appearance that excites consumers. This includes the new Sparkling bottle, the So Tinge label, and the label-free silica-rich natural mineral water, which is aimed at reducing plastic usage while minimizing its environmental impact.

As a brand committed to high quality and trustworthiness, Spritzer has consistently earned accolades, including recent ones such as the Superior Taste Award 2023, the Putra Brand Bronze Award, the World Branding Award, the National Energy Awards, and the ASEAN Energy Awards. These prestigious honours firmly establish Spritzer as Malaysia’s leading mineral water brand.
