IMMIGRANT FINANCE SCHOOL®
Because immigrants DESERVE to build generational wealth, too.
Learn how to finally open your investment accounts, confidently grow your hard-earned money to 6-figures+ in passive income, master the U.S. financial system, and build generational wealth to secure your future, regardless of your immigration background or status.
Before we dive in, let's first address the top 5 BIGGEST STRUGGLES most immigrants face trying to build wealth...
1. Lack of guidance & clarity on HOW to get started building wealth in a smart way
2. Inability to get your investment account open without a social security number
3. Not knowing how to build credit history and money systems that create wealth
4. Money mindset struggles and blocks that keep you stuck in scarcity, lack, and restriction when wealth is built from an energy of abundance, growth, and expansion
5. Getting stuck in trading time for money & overworking instead of having your money work for you
IN IMMIGRANT FINANCE SCHOOL® - WE SAY GOODBYE TO THESE FOR GOOD!
Imagine, instead..
🌟 OWNING a piece of the U.S. economy by becoming an investor in the stock market, so you can make money while you sleep.
🌟 BUYING PROPERTY so you can build additional passive income and generational wealth.
🌟 Starting and GROWING your business so you can increase income, allowing you to invest more, faster.
🌟EMPOWERING yourself in the financial system so you have options & choices, no matter what the immigration laws say.
We teach you how to do all of this, step-by-step, in Immigrant Finance School®
Please note: we help immigrants of ALL backgrounds become the first investors in their families. Most of our students do not have social security numbers. All you need is an ITIN to get started.
Hi, we're Adina and Mau 👋🏼 👋🏾
Adina is an Immigration Attorney and Accredited Financial Counselor®. Mau is a Proud Immigrant from Ecuador. 🇪🇨

We're here to guide you and your family in navigating the immigration aspects of the U.S. financial system so you can join us to become an investor, land owner, business owner, and wealth builder. 🎉
“I can’t believe this. This brings hope after I felt left out by the big opportunities the country gives. It’s because of your work that opening my investment account without a social security number was this fast, it felt much like copy and paste and this info was absolutely valuable, thank you!!” — Juan

Whether it’s investing, opening a high yield savings account, budgeting, getting a credit card, you name it. I strongly recommend their course. It’s money well spent. Keep up the good work Adina and Mau! You are a Blessing to your community.” — Annica

We went from afraid and alone to confident investors.
We know exactly what you’re going through.
If you’re struggling to invest in the stock market, build credit, buy a home, start a business, or build wealth as an immigrant in the U.S., we’ve been there.
Immigrant Finance School® is the resource we wish someone handed to us in 2013, when Mau immigrated to the U.S. from Ecuador and we were super anxious and stressed about money.
We had no idea how he as an immigrant could invest, build credit, buy a home, prepare for retirement, etc.
There were no financial advisors, immigration lawyers, or personal finance books, blogs, podcasts, social media accounts, or other resources that could tell us whether or how he could safely participate in the financial system as an immigrant.
We had to learn it all on our own. But we don’t want others to struggle alone like we did.
That’s why we created Immigrant Finance School®, a step-by-step roadmap to guide immigrants and their families through the financial system, regardless of their immigration background or status.

Claudia went from paying off debt to becoming a confident investor
“If someone was going to ask me 10 years ago, you’re going to be talking about investments…I’d be like no, that’s not for me. At all….but because of the program I am now opening my first ever account in the investing world. And now I am having investing conversations I would have never had.
Now I get to talk to my littler sister and brother and spread the knowledge about budgeting, finances, and investing…Being part of the program gave me that extra push and motivation.
I would look forward to each group coaching call because I enjoyed listened to everyone’s stories. That commonality, either we came from other countries or were born here or our parents are from other countries….being linked as immigrants is really important. I learned I’m not the only one.
It was really motivating and inspirational. I would hang up on the coaching calls and think, this feels really good.”
Danny went from frustration & feeling left out from the investing system to financially confident
“I had the mindset of investment but I couldn’t do much because of my immigration status…There was not enough information or resources for immigrants in my situation…I was being left out.
When I took the course, it gave me a sense of confidence…that was really empowering. The fact that [Adina] is an immigration lawyer gave me even more confidence in investing. The program gave all the steps, all laid out, like this is what to do, just the follow the steps and it’s going to get me where I want to be.
It was really cool seeing other people regardless of their immigration status wanting to learn about personal finances…like myself…it gave me a safe space, credibility, and accountability. My main transformation was seeing the other folks achieve what they wanted to seek.. I feel really confident…You gave me the confidence to invest and have certainty on money. It was priceless. ”
