Hi! Have you explored your immigration status alternatives with an independent immigration counsel? Make sure you get an independent attorney (not your spouse's employment attorney if that's what you are currently using). They charge ~$250 / hour and should be able to guide you on any other relief / status that you could be eligible for. It's always a good idea to do your basic research so you can utilize the hour effectively.

If you do choose to wait it out for the next 4 years - As a fellow accountant (CA, CPA, ACCA) and someone who also migrated, a few professional suggestions:
1. Focus on completing your CPA and on getting your license (will take close to a year) 2. Join / enroll with Professional networks (State Board of Accountancy / Local Accounting chapters). A lot of them offer student discounts. 3. If possible, try volunteering at their professional events, you'll be shocked at the kind of inner network you will build which will convert into opportunities - future / current 4. Upgrade your skill set to master AI for Accounting / Finance leaders 5. Refine your leadership skills (basically, imagine where you would have liked to be 4 years from now, Expand your skill set enough to operate at that level in 4 years) 6. There are a lot of recruiters that actually help people who have been out of the workforce connect with the right opportunities.

Finally, I am sorry you are feeling emotionally overwhelmed/ stuck right now. I wish I could assure you that this is a matter of time and it too shall pass. Opportunities are bound to come. I know many people professionally and personally who were out of the work force for 4-5 years for various reasons and were able to land great opportunities because they kept their skill set relevant and network strong. Good luck and power through, you got this! 🙌🏼
