Reply to Can open-source and DAO leadership count toward O-1's "critical capacity"?
Your leadership in significant open-source projects and that DAO can absolutely satisfy the “critical or essential capacity” criterion—we just need to frame it properly. While USCIS traditionally looks for roles in conventional organizations, they’ve increasingly recognized the importance of non-traditional but influential technology…

Reply to Do multi-author papers count for the O-1 scholarly articles criterion?
Don’t worry about having mainly collaborated on multi-author papers—this is completely normal in scientific fields and USCIS understands this reality. You absolutely don’t need to be the sole author or even first author on your publications to meet the scholarly articles criterion. What we’ll need to do is clearly document your specific…

Attorney James replied to the discussion Can my AI patent count for the O-1 visa if it’s not commercialized? in the forum Tech & Science 10 months ago
Reply to Can my AI patent count for the O-1 visa if it’s not commercialized?
Yes, your patent absolutely can qualify as an original contribution for your O-1 visa, even without widespread commercialization. Patents are valuable evidence because they demonstrate innovation that’s been officially recognized by the U.S. Patent Office. For your application, we’ll need to gather strong supporting letters from recognized…
