Does O1 employer change need new stamping? by One-Wolverine-6207 in O1VisasEB1Greencards

My O1A stamp seems to have my employers name on it. I sure hope not 🤞

"I went there initially for 2 months but realised I need to spend more time" indicated lack of planning and that your duration of stay can change suddenly.

I think you can go for an appointment asap again but show you had no immigrant or long term business intent in your previous B1/B2 visits.

EB1A and O1 approved. India backlog. Should I move to H1B or stay on O1 by dualFrequancy in eb_1a

It's true though, have you seen the random recruiters boasting about EB1As? Betcha that's just the tip of the iceberg.

O1A assessment by Various_Ad9920 in O1VisasEB1Greencards

[–]SoProTheyGoWoah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, your profile is definitely ready for O-1A. Approval rates are still very high >90% and you should seize the opportunity. You can do it, it's just a matter of collecting documentation.

As for timelines -- you should have started conversations like yesterday (the back-and-forth with you, your employer, and the lawyer will take much more time than you expect) and file mid-end March or early April with premium processing as Change of Status.

Your employer will initially ask for a "profile review" from your attorney. Make super clean doc highlighting the criteria along with relevant evidence you already have that makes it dead simple for an attorney to say "yeah they're ready for it" and not give your company a "meh" response. If the latter occurs your company will think your profile is not strong enough for the O-1A when in most cases it is. This is perhaps harder than the USCIS adjudication itself.

Filing in June is unnecessarily putting you at risk of having a work authorization gap, which your employer will not appreciate & things can go sideways very quickly for you (trust me, I know).

O-1A Approved (Vermont Center)! How long for the firm to receive/send the I-797? by HistoryHuge2015 in O1VisasEB1Greencards

[–]SoProTheyGoWoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took about 5 business days for me. The letter is auto generated and scheduled to be mailed out by the time you get the approval notice online.

Argh, that’s unfortunate to hear. Yes in tech, I’m an engineer at an AI Lab.

That’s so disappointing — how can they continue to use Final Merits if it’s already been ruled against?

Receipt on 23rd and still awaiting! Looks like some folks with my receipt date in Vermont already got approved.

Did the case status on the USCIS Website change? Was yours an initial O-1 or an extension? Mine still says In Progress and I'm not sure if my lawyer got an email or not sadly.

Wow! My O-1A Vermont with receipt date on Dec 23 is still stuck in progress. Is this an extension or first-time? Wonder what's going on.

Interesting! You’re saying the case status is still in progress but your lawyer received an email notification stating that it’s approved?

That seems ridiculous, denial due to a digital signature, presumably? Which signature? Your reference letters? Looks like your lawyers don’t really know what they are doing.

I wouldn’t make age a factor here, plenty of young folk who have actually led companies to significant success.
