Congratulations.
But it does seem risky making a public post about this.
By using the word “hacking” and the implications in the post that the lawyers painted a very sanguine view of the qualifications as well as the admission that the lawyers wrote the reference letters and just had the “highly successful” friend sign, seems very risky.
The US government has revoked greencards and naturalization in the past for what they consider fraudulent applications.
I am definitely not saying or implying that anything was fraudulent, but you never know who might read your post and decide that it seems suspicious and worth doing an audit.
- Swizec 5y agoYou’re right, “draft” wouldve been a better word to use. The reason lawyers do that is to make it easier on your busy friends/connections to do the favor and to ensure the right things are mentioned. Everyone has the opportunity to change anything before signing

- e1g 5y agoAbsolutely. @Swizec: ask your immigration lawyers if they're OK with this post being online and linked to both of you. If they are, you need new lawyers.

- bencollier49 5y agoHonestly, I'd be super paranoid about this. Someone with an axe to grind about foreign workers could report you on the off chance. You seem like a super clever bloke and the US would do well to take you, but if I was an immigration official and read this post, I'd be red underlining your application. They've made it mega-easy to report, as well.
- dixie_land 5y agoExactly. The OP just built himself a sand castle. Even naturalization can be revoked if you get it through fraudulent means, which the OP openly and somehow proudly admits

- margalabargala 5y agoI'm just a random US citizen, but I would say that the sort of person who would go to the effort and lengths described to understand and make their way through the process, is indeed precisely the sort of person for whom an "extraordinary ability" visa is intended.
- flavius29663 5y agoyou would be surprised how much immigrants have to know and do in order to get in the US legally.
