Sustained acclaim: from community discussions

• «When you go to flip the O1 into a green card, they'll most likely ask you for W2/paystubs for 3 months. And this will be at the adjustment-of-status stage, already after the petition is approved. So you'll have to pay yourself a salary-salary and run it through payroll, not as a 1099 contractor. And this salary has to equal the one you stated in the O1 petition.»

• «If possible it's better to lowball the planned salary to the minimum level your lawyer is willing to accept, if you want to later convert from O1 to EB. Otherwise you'll get hit on taxes later.»

• «Always put document quality first: gather all your awards, publications, patents, media mentions and strong recommendation letters. Organize them clearly to show your contribution - well-prepared documents genuinely help.»
