How about a blockchain founder?

  Yes, certainly. Same requirements as other industries and occupations. And the same challenges: Fitting your 2023 accomplishments into the rigid required elements of the 1991 USCIS categories. One especially helpful force multiplier here, would be to practice writing out a simple one-page description of your industry and your job. Like a little elevator pitch, that's easily grasped in a minute or two, by a time-pressed layperson USCIS examiner. You're basically explaining blockchain at a 9th-grade reading level. This is hard! It can take a lot of iterations and analogies. But it adds a ton of value, when the examiner can grasp right up front what you do and why you're special.

    Addendum: This "1-page elevator speech," specifically voiced for your USCIS examiner, can pay handsome dividends for any complex specialty, in the form of a quick O-1 / EB-1A approval. Not just blockchain, but crypto, all AI and ML specialties, platform integration, big databases, programming languages, data science, anything that requires effort to explain to a layperson audience. Explain it to: Your dad. Your 14-year-old-kid. Your non-tech investor. Your CEO. Your spouse. Your best friend. We're seeking that "AHA moment" where they go: "Oh! THAT's what you do? That's really cool!" If you've lined up all your evidence correctly, that AHA moment, is the moment you win your case.
