Anyone here has gone through the O1 visa recently or currently on one? Would love to hear how it went.

Yes. Awards, press, and lawyer is everything. If you have these ready, apply for the express. I got it in 2weeks.

Can I DM you?

If you reach the criteria, it’s a pretty easy process. And very quick. As above, paying for express is well worth it. And second on getting a lawyer, while it’s easy to gather the support docs you need (awards, letters of support, letters of intent, press clippings, proof of higher salary etc), there are some forms that have those classic tricky questions that it’s worth having a professional guide you through.

I did an independent O1 with agent petitioner, as opposed to an agency sponsoring me. What route are you going? Happy to answer any questions

Yep, by independent I mean agent petitioner. I had a former CEO who started his own shop be my agent petitioner, so he had knowledge of my work history and could vouch for all the info.

I was already in the US and transferring to the O1, so I did all the prep here. But had to fly back to home country for the consulate interview etc.

Gathering process is the most labor intensive. But once it was submitted, i got approved in less than two weeks.

Get a decent attorney, current processing time for O1 can be pretty long so you may also wanna consider premium processing. I’ve done O1 twice and as long as your exhibit is legit you should be fine

Things have been super stressful at work lately for a variety of reasons & a couple of weeks ago I decided to raise the issues with my Creative Director.
For context, he’s the reason for a lot of these problems and I (tactfully, I think) said as much. He listened to me patiently but took no responsibility and deflected blame with every issue raised.
Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)
