About me:

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.


As a paid subscriber to this newsletter, you get access to:

  • My EB-1A/EB-2 NIW/O-1 profile-building opportunities database (400+ opportunities so far, updated every 2-3 days). Once you become a paid subscriber, I will share this spreadsheet with you.

  • My private EB-1A/EB-2 NIW/O-1 profile-building group (link below, you will also get access to the newsletter chat). Members have been able to:

    • Land speaking opportunities.

    • Land peer review and other judging opportunities (through a university contact listed in my newsletter resources and through peer reviewer members of my private group).

    • Find co-authors for papers.

    • Get in touch with reporters.

    • Find independent references.

    • Get involved in top member organizations in their field.

    • Work with other profile-builders.

    • Judge hackathons.

  • 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).

  • Video resources (recorded question and answer-style videos with EB-1A recipients, recordings of my EB-1A profile-building office hours), my guides to EB-1A and EB-2 NIW profile-building, and 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.

  • Here are some reviews of the newsletter.


Hi everyone! Just heard back from someone who is running two hackathons in Seattle on 6/24 and 7/1.

He is looking for two judges for each event.

Here is what he shared in terms of a selection criteria:

  • An understanding of full-stack development (frontend, backend, APIs).

  • Experience with vibe coding platforms is a must.

  • Some experience with Bolt is preferred (not a must, you can also experiment with Bolt on your own and they are open to giving you access).

  • For the 6/24 event, experience with Martech is preferred but not required.

  • For the 7/1, experience with revenue operations is preferred but not required.

  • Judging is in-person.

Here is a form to sign up to be considered to be as a judge and more details about the two hackathons:
