Hi everyone! I got my O-1 in 2022 and wrote about it here: https://blog.awais.io/o1-visa Now, I built a free tool to help others find out if they qualify for an O-1A "extraordinary ability" visa. Many assume the O-1A visa is nearly impossible to obtain, but that’s not the case. In fact: • USCIS data shows a 92% O-1A approval rate in 2023, rising above 94% in 2024. • O-1A approvals for STEM candidates have been increasing 16% year-over-year since 2018. • Around 5% of H-1B applicants already meet the criteria—often without realizing it. If this is your last H-1B attempt, you want to start a company, or you have a strong research background, now is a great time to check your O-1A eligibility. Give the tool a try and let me know what you think!
