Hello Peter, I'm a Grad Student with 5 years of Industry experience on a non-immigrant visa (F1). I intent to take up residency in the U.S. after graduating.
Is getting a job (H1 -> EB1/2/3 -> GC the only path or could I do a startup (no huge investment)?
- proberts 9y agoAn H-1B as a U.S. graduate is a good option and an O-1 through your own startup might also work but I'd need to know a lot more about your background and potential startup.
- ProblemFactory 9y agoWhat are the realistic "extraordinary achievement" conditions of an O-1 visa? The information online makes it seem that it is for olympic medal, nobel prize and oscar winners.
- proberts 9y agoIt's nuanced so it's hard to define but oftentimes the creation of a company that is doing something novel is enough to support an O-1 even if the company has limited funding or clients.
