Manage episode 431447860 series 2794947
Imagine pivoting from a culinary career to becoming a prominent immigration lawyer. That's exactly what Jason Susser did. From growing up with an esteemed immigration lawyer mother to making a dramatic career shift from the culinary arts to law, Jason's story is a testament to following one's true calling. We also discuss the critical role of community and mentorship in supporting founders navigating the complex immigration system.
The landscape of H-1B and O-1 visas for entrepreneur-founders is shifting, and it’s essential to keep up. Jason and I break down the recent changes in USCIS's employer-employee relationship definition, especially for those who are 100% owner-founders. We also tackle the prevailing wage requirements and the unique advantages of the O-1 visa for entrepreneurs. You'll hear our real-world experiences with international entrepreneur parole and how the U.S. stacks up against countries like Canada in supporting global founders. Additionally, we explore the unpredictable nature of visa adjudications, sharing firsthand accounts of successes and setbacks in O-1, EB-1, and EB-2 NIW visas.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:Specialized immigration practices and startup visas
Conflicting immigration program requirements
AI tool for attorneys
Inconsistencies in immigration case approvals
Ethical considerations in government filings
