    Story

    So… On September 12th, 2023,

    I got my O-1A extraordinary visa approved as the solo founder and 100% owner of an educational venture that publishes books & builds communities.

    From the day I learned about the O-1 visa, it took me

    2.5 years, $25,000, a denial, and a 221(g) to reach this milestone.

    In these 2.5 years,

    I quit my job at Salesforce, published a book on immigration (the irony, I know), and built an online community for O-1/EB-1 visa aspirants (among other things).

    In this 6000-word short book,

    I share the inside story of how/why I quit my job at Salesforce, what happened with my O-1 denial, and how I eventually got an approval.
