@johnloeber@m59049 I do not think O-1 is fine. The rules are defined quite vaguely for O-1 which gives USCIS leeway to lean conservative on policy. More comment will be needed when/if the actual new policy is rolled out, but it’s not looking good right now
@johnloeber While certainly impressive in their own right, most folks on OPT would not qualify for O-1. The criteria are too rigorous. This regulation effectively nukes the entire F1 -> OPT -> labor force pipeline by destroying long-term incentives - not a good thing at all!
