With the ongoing and intensifying competition for talent, companies are constantly looking for ways to retain talent. Companies willing to sponsor potentially qualified candidates for O-1 and EB-1 extraordinary ability classification will not only attract talent but also help retain employees. From an employee standpoint, if being sponsored for an H-1B or L-1 is not possible or if waiting over a decade to secure one's green card just doesn't make sense, an exploration of O-1 work visa and EB-1A green card eligibility are things to consider. In this episode, partner and attorney Min Kim explored the possibility of EB-1 extraordinary ability and O-1 visa eligibility and how these often lesser-used options might help in securing the ability to work in the U.S. and/or expedite the Green Card process. #immigration #immigrationattorney #o1visa #visa #eb1 #thursdayslivewithchugh Speakers: #NehaMahajan: Business Development & Outreach Manager | Neha.Mahajan@chugh.com [https://www.chugh.com/our-team/neha-mahajan/] #MinKim: Partner & Attorney | Min.Kim@chugh.com [https://www.chugh.com/our-team/min-kim/]
Tony Michaelides has been described as a walking, talking, encyclopaedia of music. He's been described that way for good reason, because he's worked with everyone from David Bowie, to New Order to Take That. Tony worked in promotions and as a consultant in the music industry. He's also very well known in Manchester for his time at Piccadilly Radio, where his nickname was “Tony the Greek”. He describes himself as “an adopted yank, but always a Manc”. He now lives in the United States after the US government granted him a green card for services to music and the arts. In this episode, you'll hear some fantastic stories taken from his book “Moments That Rock”, about everyone from the Happy Mondays, to U2, Simply Red, James and the Stone Roses. ================================== Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture. To celebrate the 26 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family' and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.

While Your Mindset Shifts Over Time, Your Purpose May Not Sometimes in life we will all have moments where we think to ourselves, “Is this really who I want to be? Is this how I want my story to impact others?” and we either wonder or plan for the next steps in becoming the person we want to be. In this episode Sarah Elkins and her guest Tony Michaelides, an accomplished Author and former Music Industry Executive, discuss the importance of being authentic in your stories and how they influence your audience in a way that is for the better instead of being outrageous and telling your stories for the glory of having a legacy. Highlights It's okay to be lousy when you first try something. In order to pursue your dreams you have to be willing to be uncomfortable in order to learn what you need to do. How many people can you benefit by being your authentic self? The influence of being insistent on personal growth. Show appreciation for the road life has lead you on. Quotes Be true to yourself, don't find yourself being lead down a road of uncertainty. There comes a time in your life when you stand back and say "what about me?" and that's not being selfish towards others, that's just putting yourself in the mix. We can be heroes if just for today. Featured in this podcast: Moments that Rock Podcast Insights from the Engine Room Book About Tony Michaelides (from his website): Having spent thirty plus years in the music industry and working with some of the world's leading artists I could see that big changes were about to happen. It was clearly time for me to make a change too so after being labelled an “Alien of Extraordinary Ability” for services to the music and arts I was awarded a green card, packed my bags and headed out to America for the next part of my journey. As I began writing my first book it dawned on me that I had learned a lot from both the artists I had worked with together with the people I like to call ‘music industry insiders.' I started to take ‘The Lessons Learned from Rock and Roll' out on to the road and to numerous events internationally. As I was writing my second book, ‘Moments That Rock' I decided to keep the lessons separate and to release them as a series of E Books and Audio books. My ‘Moments That Rock' became a storytelling podcast and a new dawn beckoned. If I can no longer do what I did then why not talk about it? The Lessons Learned from Rock and Roll is not exclusive and can be applied to anyone. It opens people's eyes in to what it takes to be a real Rock Star. ABOUT SARAH: "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Show notes by Chinook Bromlie - Estey

In this week's Immigration Law for Tech Startups podcast, I'm doing our annual recap of what to do if you were not selected in the H-1B lottery. What are your backup options, whether you are in operations, finance, or any position at a tech startup?

With a little bit of grit, perseverance, and creative thinking about legal alternative strategies, a lot of things are possible. This is one of those pivotal points in your life where your decisions can shape your future and the future of those around you.

In 1783, Philadelphian Elizabeth House Trist left for Pittsburgh, beginning a journey that would take her down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers hoping -- after seven years of separation during the Revolutionary War -- to reunite with her husband in Natchez. Trist's travel diary, created at the request of Thomas Jefferson, is the earliest known record of a Mississippi River expedition by woman. A full 20 years before Lewis and Clark recorded their journey through the same waters, Trist filled her journal with natural history observations not only of the landscape, geography, weather, plants, and animals she encountered but with vivid descriptions of the people she met along the way. Trist's eventful journey was full of hardships and adventures -- including waist-high snow, muddy and icy roads, cramped living conditions, treacherous waters, a whirlpool, mosquitos, and a possible encounter with an alligator. In this episode of In the Course of Human Events, Monticello Guides Lou Hatch, David Thorson, and Holly Haliniewski recount Trist's travels, why Jefferson considered her “amongst my best friends,” and share details of her adventures and the series of tragic deaths that led her to life as one of Monticello's long-term guests.

These are the ones that you can self-petition by being a leader in your field in a country outside of the U.S. I also talk briefly about the LIKE Act, a bill for a startup visa, which is a very exciting program I'm grateful to be a part of. It's not a law yet. But this is a major real step forward. And I contributed some of the changes to its passage such as the removal of the numerical limitations. So if you're going to get a green card through this new program, you do not have to wait in any sort of line based on your country of birth. You just immediately apply for the phase two adjustment of status or an immigrant visa. There's no additional backlog and you will not have to look at the visa bulletin.

We have the great pleasure of speaking to the one, and only, Julius Solaris today! In this episode, Julius tells us his story. He talks about his career, virtual versus in-person, the future of meetings, and how to use the different social media platforms. We are sure you will enjoy listening to our inspiring conversation with Julius Solaris! Julius Solaris bio Julius Solaris is the head of engagement at Swapcard. Before that, he was the founder and editor-in-chief of EventMB, which was acquired in 2019 by Skift, the largest and most influential travel media company worldwide. He has been named one of the most influential individuals in the meetings industry by many magazines and media for the past ten years. Julius has conducted some of the most ground-breaking research for the event industry, with over 3,000 events reviewed and 15,000 event professionals interviewed. Julius' analysis and reports have been downloaded by over 300,000 event professionals, and 300,000 more read EventMB every month. Over 50,000 event professionals have attended Julius's events. Julius has been a keynote speaker for events in 12 countries and for over 200,000 attendees. Moving from Europe to the United States Julius did a Marketing MBA in Australia in 2004-2005. At that time, blogging was the way to do things, so Julius started thinking about it. He returned to Italy for a year or so in 2007. While there, Julius decided to start blogging. The only thing he could write about was events because that was the only experience he had had since coming out of university. The world of business events Julius truly liked the world of business events, and it excited him. Social media He also had a passion for how social media and the new world of technology would impact the world of events. So, he started talking about that back in the early days. Moving around After moving to London, back to Italy, and then back to London again, Julius moved to the United States five years ago. Blogging as a business Julius's blog has always been the common thread running through all his moves. He has had some proper jobs while doing it. Then, in 2011, blogging finally became his business. Organically driven to move Julius feels organically driven to move constantly. He has a citizen-of-the-world mentality, so he loves experiencing new things. He moved to Australia and London multiple times and then to the US. He loved California and the west coast and wanted to move there. Moving to the United States Julius felt as if he belonged in the United States. His business also aligned with that feeling because he had clients there. He was also financially motivated to move to the US. Julius Solaris shoots for the stars Various options were available for Julius Solaris when applying for his US visa. He decided to shoot for the stars and apply for the “Alien of Extraordinary Ability” option. He was able to prove that he had achieved a lot within the events industry, and, much to his surprise, he received a Green Card. Now, after five years, he hopes to become a US citizen. Selling his businesses In 2018, Julius sold a software business that he owned. Then, he sold EventMB, his travel media company. It was an extremely stressful business to run even though it kept growing. Julius decided to become a part of a larger organization, instead, to feel more secure and relaxed enough in his life to focus on doing the kind of work he wanted to do. Then, he started proactively looking to sell his company. Julius Solaris's biggest lessons Julius Solaris initially had two unsuccessful closes when trying to sell his business. Those were major psychological setbacks for him, and the biggest lessons in his career as an entrepreneur. Selling to Skift Later, at a dinner, Julius got introduced to the Editor of Meetings for Skift. They became friends, and the editor later introduced Julius to the CEO of Skift, to whom Julius eventually sold his business. Peace of mind Julius left EventMB with the peace of mind of knowing that selling the business was the most logical thing for him to do. What lies ahead Julius is passionate about event tech. Now is an exciting time for him because this is the right time for using event tech in business and he has been privy to many conversations about what lies ahead in that area. For now, the interest lies very much in virtual. Hybrid is also there and will feature even more in Q3 and Q4. People are postponing People are postponing things as much as possible right now, with a fall-back plan to go one hundred percent virtual, if necessary. Virtual is still the leader For North America and Europe, virtual is still the leading option, by far. Event technology There is currently an unprecedented six-billion dollar valuation for event technology. A monumental shift There has been a monumental shift in the area of virtual events. Now, people know that it is possible to connect with others on virtual platforms. They know that there is the potential for virtual events to become part of the B2B marketing structure of any company and operations. Unnecessary meetings Many of the previously unnecessary meetings will get replaced by virtual events in the future. Sustainability Sustainability will be top of mind in terms of all future meetings, now that we know that virtual and hybrid events work. An inclusion piece for hybrid A secondary role for hybrid events is as an inclusion piece to be built at the back of in-person events, as the digital aspect of those events. A third dimension There is also a third dimension, which is the one hundred percent in-person event. That kind of in-person event will never go away. Social media Julius feels that social media will make people want to go to in-person events, in case they miss out on all the marvelous things that are happening there. A consideration People need to bear in mind that the requirements for in-person events are not the same as those for virtual events. Virtual events should be curated carefully to ensure that people do not feel as if they are missing out on anything. Preparing for when things re-open Independent business owners in our industry should plan on doing virtual events in the next few years if they want to make money. They will need to allocate the right amount of money for the necessary technology to do that effectively, and they should employ virtual event professionals to assist them with the production of those events. Julius Solaris's strategy for business owners There is both an engagement component and a marketing component for business owners to consider if they want to be productive and successful on social media, according to Julius Solaris. A rule of thumb is to know where your audience is and where your customers are. You need to understand where things are coming from and invest in the things that are driving the most revenue or opportunities. You also need to create a list of priorities for all the different elements. Owning your community The next step is to understand that your events can be part of your marketing strategy. So, whether your event is virtual, in-person, or hybrid, the need right now is to put everything together in a community, within an overarching architecture that you own, as a new event owner. There, you can combine all the activations that you do, whether they are social media, an event, or a piece of content, under one roof.

This week we share some good news about three client success stories in the diverse fields of chemical engineering, social psychology, and music. Each of these stories represent what we consider the very best of the U.S. immigration system and, when the system works well, what it can accomplish.
*Episode 332* : Rotana is a Saudi Arabian performance artist, singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Saudi Arabia, she moved to Los Angeles five years ago to pursue music after quitting her job at Saudi Aramco, the largest oil company in the world. She is currently working on her one woman show/musical, Alien of Extraordinary Ability (named after her immigration status), and her debut album which just released her latest singles Sin Again and Stuck in America. Rotana describes herself as an initiator, an erotic being, and a liberator. As an artist that reckons daily with the experience of “other”, she is determined to give movement, sound, beauty and witness to that experience. After premiering her one woman show at FORM, a world renowned festival featuring artists and poets like Aja Monet and Florence and The Machine, she received the attention of publications like GQ noting that Rotana “delivered one of the most spine-tingling performances of the entire FORM festival.” She has also collaborated with brands including Fendi, Miu Miu, Lucky Brand, and more. Rotana has been named one of BBC’s 100 most powerful women and covered by GQ , LA Weekly , Huffington Post , Vice Arabia, Vogue Arabia, NPR, and AJ+. Her performances have spanned cities globally including Paris, Abu Dhabi, Los Angeles, New York, and at the Sundance Music Festival. Straddling a profound love for her home and the determination to be free, Rotana’s music speaks to the journey of self realization in the face of Saudi tradition, God, sexuality, family and the immigrant experience. *COACHING* : Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coaching *SISU SOCIETY* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-society *FEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spirit *Show Notes* : * Try Care/Of!

Her answer is amazing and a bullet in show notes wouldn't do it justice.

In this episode, Shai and Roderick break down the 2006 comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Our co-hosts explore what kind of visa an outlandish French championship Formula 1 race car driver, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, would have needed in order to race on the NASCAR circuit in the U.S. The visa categories they will explore in this episode include: O-1A, P-1A, and I-140 Extraordinary Ability.

In this episode of Immigration Law for Tech Startups, I proudly unveil the details of Alcorn Immigration Law’s new Extraordinary Ability Bootcamp, an online course. In my previous “Extraordinary Ability Bootcamp” podcast episode, I discussed the O-1A nonimmigrant visa for extraordinary ability, the EB-1A extraordinary ability green card, and the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver for exceptional ability) green card. The O-1A, EB-1A, and EB-2 NIW are great for startup founders and entrepreneurs, tech and biotech talent, researchers and scientists, business professionals and educators, and of course, the companies who sponsor these individuals. What’s more, the EB-1A and EB-2 NIW green cards don’t require a company sponsor, which means individuals can file their own petition for these green cards. The Extraordinary Ability Bootcamp will take a deep dive into these visa and green card categories—and what it takes to file a successful petition in one of these categories. A 15-module online course, the Extraordinary Ability Bootcamp consists of videos and supplemental material designed to give you the tools to assess whether you currently qualify for any of these extraordinary ability categories—or what you need to do to get there—as well as best practices. This course is the culmination of synthesizing the Alcorn team’s decades of experience in immigration law, the lessons learned from the thousands of successful O-1A, EB-1A, and EB-2 NIW cases, and our interactions with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers.

Today, I’m taking a deep dive into the visa statuses based on extraordinary ability – the O-1A nonimmigrant visa, the EB1A green card, and the EB2-NIW green card. And even if you’re still not qualified for these visa types, what I’ll discuss are things you can do moving forward to build the requisite portfolio of accomplishments so you can qualify in the future. No matter where you are in the world, and no matter what your past accomplishments are… ... if you have a desire for where you're going in the future, … you can see your company starting to take shape in your mind's eye, and ... you can see the role that you want to play in that company – It's really possible to build out your criteria for these types of visas in parallel with building your company. Just remember that there's no one size fits all. It's all very individual. Everybody's field or company is different. And that's what makes startups unique and exciting because they have so much potential! In this episode, you’ll hear about: A brief recap about the O-1A, EB1A, and EB2-NIW visa types How these types of immigration statuses are assessed by an immigration attorney Real-life examples of people we've helped Resources mentioned: Alcorn Immigration Firm Get the Immigration Law for Tech Startups eBook *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

In this episode of Inside Immigration, I talk about the O-1 Visa for individuals of extraordinary ability. This visa is perfect for individuals who are rising stars or established experts in their field and will be working in their area of expertise in the United States. I will go over the eligibility requirements for classification as an individual of extraordinary ability. This is one of my favorite visas to work on.

Murray Carter (@CarterCutlery) is a Canadian craftsman like no other. At eighteen, he fell into an apprenticeship with a sixteenth generation Yoshimoto bladesmith that lasted six years -- and was asked to take the position of number seventeen in the Sakemoto family tradition (perhaps the only Caucasian ever to have had the honor and privilege of this position). Murray continued forging blades in Japan for twelve more years and in June 2001, he was awarded the rating of Mastersmith by the American Bladesmith Society, thus proving the highest degree of competency by Western standards. In 2005, he moved to the United States (as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, no less) to start Carter Cutlery; he has continued forging blades in Oregon since. This is a fascinating episode on many levels, so please enjoy! This podcast is brought to you by Headspace, the world’s most popular meditation app (with more than four million users). It’s used in more than 150 countries, and many of my closest friends swear by it. Try Headspace’s free Take10 program — 10 minutes of guided meditation a day for 10 days. It’s like a warm bath for your mind. Meditation doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive, and it’s had a huge impact on my life. Try Headspace for free for a few days and see what I mean. This podcast is also brought to you by Four Sigmatic. I reached out to these Finnish entrepreneurs after a very talented acrobat introduced me to one of their products, which blew my mind (in the best way possible). It is mushroom coffee featuring chaga. It tastes like coffee, but there are only 40 milligrams of caffeine, so it has less than half of what you would find in a regular cup of coffee. I do not get any jitters, acid reflux, or any type of stomach burn. It put me on fire for an entire day, and I only had half of the packet. People are always asking me what I use for cognitive enhancement right now -- this is the answer. You can try it right now by going to foursigmatic.com/tim and using the code Tim to get 20 percent off your first order. If you are in the experimental mindset, I do not think you'll be disappointed.***If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
