US visas: why so easy?

February 27, 2009

As I expected all along, my O-1 visa came through today, so I am now free to live and work in the United States for the next three years.

To be honest, I’m a little surprised at how easy it is to come by a work visa nowadays: although my case was a no-brainer, perhaps they should think about raising the bar. Perhaps 2 Nobel prizes rather than just 1 would keep out the riffraff?

Either way it is great news and it’s a massive relief for it to be sorted; even not getting the visa would have been better than interminable limbo.

I’m sending waves of good energy and positive karma to my co-founder Amir and lawyer Chris for all their help.
