Could anyone from outside the US give advice on the process for getting a visa? I'm from Israel, and am wondering how difficult the whole visa situation is, and where I should start researching about it.
- notauser 16y agoPeople have done it before on a WT visa. I'm not sure that the INS would treat you kindly if they found out was was going on though. Other than I'm not aware of any good options unless you have a company to back you (L1/H1B), serious money (7 figures), family in the US (7+ year queue), or a Nobel prize (not kidding - take a look at the 'alien of extraordinary ability' visa).
- sjtgraham 16y agoIt's not as difficult as one might think to get a O-1 visa or EB-1 green card. Lack of a Nobel prize does not preclude one from successfully obtaining these visas, although having one probably increases one's chances.
- dkberktas 16y agoI am also curious about the situation when applying from Turkey, is it possible to apply with B1 visa? Are there any previous example of sth similar?
