programs get the same 3-year work permit

After my CA, I joined a
bank, but felt like this is
not the kind of work I
wanted to do. And when
I searched for CPA,
Miles was the first result.
Initially I had a dream to Miles was there for me
come to the US at every step; from
but I couldn’t find a way. choosing the right
Miles helped me university to sorting my

It really feels like a
dream. I never thought
that accountants could
go and study in the US
since there was no
STEM initially.
Miles’ guidance about
the requirements,
duration and VISA
process made the
journey unchallenging.
I am studying MAcc here
and enjoying living my
dream. I came to the US
since we get exceptional
opportunities here.
When I look back, I’ll
think— already 9 months
gone and job in hand; I
didn’t expect this at all.
All thanks to Miles.
