The most underrated benefit I got from the Unshackled community was the emotional support. I got an RFE during my O-1A journey and it was extremely painful, emotionally. I can't recommend joining the community enough.

CTO of Vie, Inc. O-1A Recipient.
I got everything I needed to create a solid O-1A case. The knowledge base introduced me to the websites I needed to build my evidence. I had access to people who were doing exactly what I was doing - as well as people who've reached the finish line of the process! I could speak to vetted lawyers who evaluated my case. There is always new information being shared and discussed. Overall, I got more out of the community than I paid for!

Head of Product at DrizzleHealth. O-1A Recipient.
The biggest thing I got from the community was the belief that I could actually qualify for the O-1A. It wasn’t this giant, monolithic thing meant only for a select few. As long as I was doing good and strategically building my case, it was possible for me to get the visa. Since getting it, I’ve had the peace of mind I needed to get back to what actually mattered: building my company.

Sr. Machine Learning Engineer at PANGIAM. O-1A Recipient.
I was in the H-1B lottery for three years straight and still didn't get selected. Eventually, my company's lawyer asked me if I had any papers or publications. When I said `no`, they discouraged me from pursuing the O-1A path at that time. So I didn't. But then once again my name wasn't picked a fourth time in the H-1B lottery. This time my back was against the wall. That's when I discovered the Unshackled book and eventually the community. The chapter on O-1A in the book gave me confidence that I can build my profile. Within the next 6 months, I did it and got my O-1A approved.

To me, Unshackled was the starting point of discovering a wealth of community, experiences, and resources that have been a friend through a pretty complex process. From simple tips to accessing others who were in similar boats to always having someone willing to help, the community has been unmatched.

I’m now just a month away from filing my case. Fingers crossed.

CTO of Vie, Inc. O-1A Recipient.
I got everything I needed to create a solid O-1A case. The knowledge base introduced me to the websites I needed to build my evidence. I had access to people who were doing exactly what I was doing - as well as people who've reached the finish line of the process! I could speak to vetted lawyers who evaluated my case. There is always new information being shared and discussed. Overall, I got more out of the community than I paid for!

Head of Product at DrizzleHealth. O-1A Recipient.
The biggest thing I got from the community was the belief that I could actually qualify for the O-1A. It wasn’t this giant, monolithic thing meant only for a select few. As long as I was doing good and strategically building my case, it was possible for me to get the visa. Since getting it, I’ve had the peace of mind I needed to get back to what actually mattered: building my company.

Staff Software Engineer AI/ML at Walmart. EB-1A Recipient.
I wish I had found the community earlier in my EB-1A journey. It could have saved me a lot of time and research. And, it would've given me a chance to meet others like me from my field, get their feedback, and made my petition better.

Sr. Machine Learning Engineer at PANGIAM. O-1A Recipient.
I was in the H-1B lottery for three years straight and still didn't get selected. Eventually, my company's lawyer asked me if I had any papers or publications. When I said `no`, they discouraged me from pursuing the O-1A path at that time. So I didn't. But then once again my name wasn't picked a fourth time in the H-1B lottery. This time my back was against the wall. That's when I discovered the Unshackled book and eventually the community. The chapter on O-1A in the book gave me confidence that I can build my profile. Within the next 6 months, I did it and got my O-1A approved.

Co-Founder of DesiHangover. UC Berkeley MBA Graduate. O-1A Recipient.
The most underrated benefit I got from the Unshackled community was the emotional support. I got an RFE during my O-1A journey and it was extremely painful, emotionally. I can't recommend joining the community enough.

To me, Unshackled was the starting point of discovering a wealth of community, experiences, and resources that have been a friend through a pretty complex process. From simple tips to accessing others who were in similar boats to always having someone willing to help, the community has been unmatched.

I am immensely grateful to the Unshackled community for the support I got throughout my EB-1A process. The resources & personal stories shared there gave me the confidence to get through a rather overwhelming process. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone in their EB-1A process to join this space! I’m now just a month away from filing my case. Fingers crossed.
