O1-A Prep Discussion with Prachiti Parkar

Navigating the O-1A visa process can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to figure out where to start and how to build a strong professional profile.

Having gone through the journey myself after being selected in the H-1B lottery zero times across three attempts, I understand how challenging the uncertainty can be. My O-1A journey involved building evidence across research and publications, peer review and judging, critical roles, and high salary.

I'm offering FREE 1:1 calls to help aspiring O-1A applicants understand the process from my perspective and prepare for their next steps.

What we can discuss:

• Profile building: Research, publications, citations, peer reviewing, and judging opportunities.
• Engineering impact: Documenting technical contributions, critical roles, and professional achievements.
• Evidence preparation: Organizing your accomplishments and identifying areas you may want to strengthen.
• Getting started: Practical lessons from my own journey, resources I found useful, and mistakes to avoid.
• Call preparation: Helping you organize your questions and prepare for a productive discussion with your immigration attorney.

Who is this for?

Software engineers, systems engineers, researchers, and other professionals in tech who are exploring the O-1A pathway, particularly those who are unsure how to begin building their profile.

My goal is simple: to share what I learned, help you avoid starting from scratch, and make this journey a little less overwhelming.

A quick note: This is a peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing session based on my personal experience, not legal advice or an assessment of your eligibility. For legal strategy and case-specific guidance, please consult a qualified immigration attorney.

Looking forward to helping you pay it forward someday, too! 🙌
