On how to profile-build (for EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1)
Updates to the Resources:
Spoke to the leadership of an IEEE student chapter about research opportunities a few days ago, more updates on this next week.
Just spoke to someone who helps with organizing Harvard WECode, they gave me an email for their programming committee. Emailed them two days ago to ask about any available speaking, mentoring, and workshop opportunities.
Will also be speaking to an AI reporter tomorrow and have also reached out to another reporter.
As a paid subscriber to this newsletter, you get access to:
My EB-1A/EB-2 NIW/O-1 profile-building opportunities database (270+ opportunities so far, updated every 2-3 days). Once you become a paid subscriber, I will share this spreadsheet with you.
Video resources (recorded question and answer-style videos with EB-1A recipients and also resume review videos).
My guides to EB-1A and EB-2 NIW profile-building.
My reviews of AAO decisions (which go into USCIS’s reasoning for denying an EB-1A/O-1 petition). I review both EB-1A and O-1 decisions.
My contacts database (these are universities, event organizers, and people involved in relevant organizations that I have spoken to, you can mention my name if you decide to reach out to them).
My private EB-1A/O-1 profile-building group (link below).
Once you become a paid subscriber, I will share all of the above resources with you via Google Drive.
I recently spoke to someone who was recently invited to join the American Society for Artificial Intelligence (ASFAI), a prestigious, invite-only organization.
Based on their website:

He’ll be attending their upcoming meeting at MIT.
To someone unfamiliar with his professional involvement activities outside of work, you would think that all he did was apply and get in.
You wouldn’t know about:
The countless conferences that he attended and at which he spoke.
The media coverage he got through Qwoted (after multiple inquiries and interactions with journalists).
The amount of outreach he did to get opportunities (eventually getting to a point where he has opportunities sent his way because of the recognition and acclaim he has built around his work).
Not to mention the number of publications he reads on a regular basis to stay informed about his industry.
Here are a few things he did that you might want to consider doing more of to strengthen your EB-1A, EB-2 NIW and/or O-1 profile.
