One of my past manager was on a O-1 (in a tech company); he was from india.
So, it goes like this, you register to be a presenter in a conference, copy some material from another tech talk and (re-)present it there as a novelty (rince and repeat). Pretty Simple. Step #2, create your facebook, youtube channel (etc.) and buy subscribers (from mediamister.com, getafollower.com, views4you.com, socialwick.com, buzzoid.com, etc) which is perfectly legal; he must have spent 10% of his salary to buy millions of subscribers; and that's how he's been working in tech for the past 10+ years.
- touristtam 9mo agoThis is just a sad read. And probably worth an in-depth article.
- Schiendelman 9mo agoDo you have evidence this was true? This sounds like a good story but I thought getting these visas was mostly about revenue receipts, and if he bought a lot of subscribers, they must've been subscribing to something that paid him.
- joenot443 9mo agoOutside of naming and shaming the guy, what kind of evidence are you asking for? To my knowledge an O-1 visa isn't about revenue receipts.
- Schiendelman 9mo agoYou're right! I looked it up. It's not about followers either though: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-2-part-m-chapter-4#S-C https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-2-part-m-chapter-... I'm not asking for evidence. I'm asking if he has evidence.
