David Moon’s Post

Last November, my visa was denied, and my life hit a wall. Landlocked in Korea, no one wanted to take a chance on my career. It’s wild how fast you can go from a rocket ship trajectory to square one. But I refused to accept defeat. Fate isn’t something to bow to - it’s something to fight for. Andrew Rea and Steven Schmatz at Taxwire.com took a bet on me. For the past 15 weeks - 108 days, 2,592 hours - I’ve been working remotely from Seoul, serving our U.S. customers on Eastern Time. Waking up to the moon, sleeping like an owl, all chasing the American Dream and solving global tax problems for our customers. We applied again for an O1 visa, reserved for extraordinary individuals. Today, I’m thrilled to share: my O1 visa was approved. Huge thanks to Minn Kim at Lighthouse HQ for being a rockstar, and to Kyle Kerns, CPA (x2), Alfred Jackson (x2), Rahul D., Regina G., and Pryce A. Yebesi for their letters and support. You made this possible. The economy’s tough. Visas are tougher. But even when the world feels upside down, don’t give up. Keep grinding, keep your head up. Taxwire.com is growing fast, and we’re hiring cracked engineers to keep up with demand. If you’re a fast-growing business needing global sales tax solutions, we’ve got you covered. Onward and upward.
