Still trying to process this โ my second O-1 has been approved! Thank you everyone, truly. Shoutout to @lighthousehq_ for living up to their name when I needed help the most ๐. Guess that means Iโm once again certified by the US as an โIndividual with Extraordinary Abilityโ ๐บ๐ธโจ

Two years ago, I received my O-1 visa. It gave me work authorization in the US as an "alien of extraordinary ability". It allowed me to move to San Francisco, the heart of the tech ecosystem to start a company, fulfilling a lifelong dream. I am forever grateful.

Over 50% of unicorn founders are immigrants. That's a massive skew compared to the general population. Hereโs why I think this might be:. 1. Selection bias: It takes a lot of courage for people to move to a different country. The types of people who do this are likely the same.

Just got my O-1 visa! Finally have proof of coming from outer-space. Turns out USCIS classified me as an โextraordinary alienโ in AI research. Proof? I have been teaching AI to kids since 2015 ๐ป, my personal O1 LLM ๐ง speaks 7 Martian languages ๐ธ, and my Gemini team
