The above is very accurate. However, I'll also add that you need either a college degree or a 4 years professional experience for every year of education it replaces to prove your high level of skill. The salary bit can be difficult, since you're applying as a founder. Not sure how much investors like a very capital-intensive founder, as would be mandated by the law if that's one of the criteria used. Makes it somewhat more difficult for an 18-year old with multiple exits to qualify.
