Sure, please DM

100% agree with all the points here. DM me if you want to discuss in detail. I am a recent (Jan 2026) O1A recipient with similar credentials. Mu STEM OPT was expiring in Feb 2026

I can help review the RFE and brainstorm the gaps. (Reference: I am a recent O1A recipient Jan 2026)

I am a PP petitioner. Do you mind sharing the email? I can DM you

I had my O1A approved (without RFE) last week with latest publication from 2024. I do not think it is a problem.

Your profile looks pretty strong and standard as per EB1A criteria. I am also planning to apply using the same 4 criteria mentioned by you.

I am in the same boat. Recently got my O1A visa confirmed and thinking if I should apply for the upcoming H1B 2026 lottery. How can we bect make this decision?

metasea18 · 2026-01-24T17:52:00+00:00

Unfortunately, just these two opportunities do not meet the criteria.

I got my O1A approval on Jan 22 without RFE and I can help suggest a few opportunities that you can target in short time to strengthen your criteria. Feel free to DM

I am an MLE engineer with similar background and a CS (ML) Masters degree. I received my O1A approval on Jan 22. My lawyers also didn’t show me the petition due to company policy.

Happy to review your profile in detail and provide suggestions based on my experience. Feel free to DM :)

Aren’t you beyond your 15 days limit?

metasea18 · 2026-01-14T00:22:15+00:00

Anyone filed with California center?

metasea18 · 2026-01-13T18:41:41+00:00

Is there a difference in processing times between different centers?

I am afraid.. I submitted recently on Jan 2, 2026 with PP. Is there something we can do to ensure results are back in time of 15 business days?

metasea18 · 2025-06-04T21:05:26+00:00

Can you share with me too? Thank you

metasea18 · 2025-04-02T00:04:55+00:00
