I work in tech and people keep telling me an O-1 move to the US is doable “if you build the right case”. Curious what that actually looked like for people here: how many recommendation letters, what kind of press or awards genuinely mattered, and how long it realistically took from start to approval. Trying to figure out if it’s within reach or just marketing.
Honestly every US recruiter for my field gets the fuck off price regardless of the job
Reply is usually something like
Thanks for the consideration however a move to the US at this time will come at a steep premium if your clients isnt willing to start the negotiation at 750 000 / year I don’t think it’s worth continuing
