Looking for judging and speaking opportunities? (687 profile-building opportunities through the outreach initiative)

Looking for judging and speaking opportunities?

I have been able to help members of the outreach initiative land 687 EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1 profile-building opportunities (top AI hackathons, peer review opportunities, demo days, etc.).

One past member also recently got approved for EB-1A (no RFE).

One current member also just landed a high profile speaking opportunity.

My name is Jason and I work with top immigration lawyers on educational resources related EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1. Most of the profile-building insights I share in this newsletter come from my work with these lawyers.
