SAN FRANCISCO, CA – August 16, 2018 – With the supply of H-1B visas dwindling, immigration is a hot topic in the US news. However, there are other avenues too, especially for high skilled sectors where India is shining, such as technology. This loophole is a little-known visa called the O1 and is designed for innovative types, from engineering to entrepreneurship.
While the H1B visa is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, with re-tried limits every few months, the O1 visa has gone completely under the radar. PassRight is a firm that focused its attention on targeting alternative visas. The firm was founded by immigrants who have experienced firsthand the costs, worries, and insecurities associated with the US visa process. PassRight has partnered with McGettrick Law PLLC, who specialize in business immigration for companies and talented individuals.
PassRight employees understand the challenges of moving to a new country. The CEO said, “We founded PassRight on the values of empathy, transparency, efficiency and affordability. The paperwork and process is a highly unwanted addition to an already long and complex list of challenges for any immigrant.”
AI has been an unexpected ally. But as the paperwork process can be very long and complicated, machine learning became the obvious solution to understand how to best identify the ideal visa opportunity for each individual. All of this reduces the time and cost of immigration petitions, with an increased success rate. “We want to counteract the fear-driven and fragmented immigration process exacerbated by current immigration policies,” said Dennis McGettrick, PassRight’s chief legal officer. Applicants face costly legal fees and often inadequate support because lawyers have little There are often thousands of cases.”
One of PassRight’s legal insights is focused on O1 visas. Unlike H1B, it is not limited to a pool of 85,000 people, and is not widely used today. This visa is obtained by showing talent and expertise in an entrepreneurial context and PassRight not only provides documentation support but also the sponsorship required for acceptance. This process can be very quick by bureaucratic standards, often taking two to four weeks to complete. Further visas such as the E2 are also available for investors, as well as the more traditional H1B visas which take longer and are more risky.
The demand for talent still exceeds supply in other US innovation hubs as well as in Silicon Valley. PassRight is determined to lower the barriers to fill these positions with the best global talent, regardless of country of origin. As the political climate intensifies around these topics, advocacy will only become a more complex issue for immigrants, employers and advocates. This issue is personal not only to the PassRight team, but to any American who is benefiting from technology pervading society today, and created largely with the help of talent from overseas. This is an issue that really touches everyone’s life in America.
