585,000+ qualified professionals rejected annually. Employers fleeing. And it's getting worse.
The H-1B system wasn't designed for today's talent market.
The H-1B is not merit-based. It's a literal lottery. In FY2024, only 25% of registrations were selected — the lowest rate ever. A PhD from MIT has the same odds as anyone else. Qualifications don't matter. It's random chance.
New fee structures have made H-1B prohibitively expensive for international applicants not already in the US. Government fees, legal costs, premium processing — it adds up to over $100,000 for many applicants.
Major companies are dropping H-1B programs entirely. Walmart went from sponsoring thousands of H-1Bs to zero. The cost, uncertainty, multi-year timelines, and legal complexity are simply too high for most employers.
Even if you win the lottery, the process takes years. Candidates can't work until approved. Employers can't plan. The best talent goes to Canada, UK, or stays home. America loses.
The O-1 visa is for individuals with "extraordinary ability or achievement." It's merit-based, not lottery-based. There's no annual cap. No employer sponsorship burden. The candidate proves their own qualifications.
Merit-based evaluation. If you qualify, you can apply anytime.
Agent-based petitions mean employers just send interest letters.
Unlimited O-1 visas available. File when ready.
But until now, there was no infrastructure connecting O-1 candidates with employers.
That's what we built.
We built the complete infrastructure for O-1 immigration.
