I was a Brit doing PhD in USA and did exactly this (except I was on J1 for grad school), and then returned to USA for an industry position on H1B and subsequently green card and it was all fine (latter stages with help of Peter and his colleagues as it happens).

- suyoghc 8y agoThanks, that's helpful to know! Do you believe an O-1 would be equally easy to obtain whether I go into academics or industry? How reluctant are companies when it comes to interviewing someone who isn't presently in the US?
