    Professional exchange, learning, increasing cultural competence, and mutual understanding between nations, allows for a unique way of enhancing international collaboration and establishing global presence. It was great to represent AIFS Professional Pathways at the annual Greater New York Chamber expo! Professionals across a diverse range of industries attended, providing a meaningful opportunity to connect on business strategies and thought leadership. As the U.S. Department of State designated J-1 Intern/Trainee visa sponsor, we look forward to building trusting relationships with companies across the NYC area. Whether you are hosting foreign interns, early to senior level professionals, or cross-training staff in the United States, our streamlined visa application system, robust on-boarding process, and continuous support, ensures compliance and high visa approval rates. Exciting developments on the horizon!

    It was a beautiful afternoon at the scenic Sheffield Island Lighthouse for our annual summer outing! Each year, many members of the AIFS HQ team in the Stamford, CT area gather to unwind, connect, enjoy themselves, and celebrate their efforts. We are grateful to all of our staff — near and far, across all AIFS divisions — for their continued commitment to our mission of bringing the world together. #workhardplayhard #AIFSatwork
