Concord Visa

Wondering if your achievements are “enough” for the O-1A? Many people assume the O-1A is only for award winners or Forbes 30 Under 30 types. In reality, many successful applicants qualify through practical, achievable evidence built intentionally over time. In this live webinar, we’ll break down the O-1A in plain English and show how founders, operators, and recent grads actually meet the criteria. You’ll learn: • What the O-1A “3 out of 8” criteria really mean in practice • Real examples of evidence that count (judging a hackathon, industry publications, selective memberships, critical roles at growing companies, and more) • How to craft a clear, persuasive O-1A narrative • What a realistic 6-24 month preparation plan looks like • Live Q&A on your own profile 🎙 Speakers Kevin Park, CEO, Concord Yijing Li, Head of Legal Operations, Concord Can’t attend live?

If you want to stay or build in the US in 2 years, the window to start preparing your O-1A is roughly now. Not because the paperwork takes that long. Because building credible evidence takes time. The people who get approved aren’t lucky. They spent 12 to 24 months doing specific, documented things that USCIS recognises. The good news: most of those things are accessible to early-career founders and professionals. You just need to know what they are and how to frame them. Free webinar this Wednesday, February 25 (4pm PST / 7pm EST). Our immigration attorney and I walk through exactly what to do and when. Register before spots fill: https://lnkd.in/gV_3HbMM

12 to 24 months. That’s what it realistically takes to build a credible O-1A case from scratch, if you know what to focus on. Judging. Writing. Selective programs. A critical role somewhere people have heard of. None of it is out of reach. All of it compounds. We’re breaking down the exact activities and how to sequence them in a free workshop this Wednesday, February 25 (4pm PST / 7pm EST). Spots are limited. https://lnkd.in/e4MyT_xS

Wondering if your achievements are strong enough for the O-1A? In this webinar, we’ll break down the criteria in plain English and show how applicants, including recent graduates, early-career professionals, founders, and operators, build compelling evidence through realistic, achievable steps.

Recently we caught up with the officially extraordinary David Booth, now Partner & Head of Ecosystem at Andreessen Horowitz, and snapped a few shots in Concord colors😁 From EIR at Blackbird Ventures to Co-Founder & CEO at ODF (On Deck), David’s been building networks that power founders for years. Couldn’t be happier to see him take this next leap with a16z. We’re proud to have played a small part in his visa journey, and can’t wait to see what’s next.

Most founders underestimate how achievable the O-1A really is. You don’t need to be a celebrity or Nobel Prize winner, you just need the right evidence, built in the right order. In this webinar, we’ll show you exactly what to build in the next 90 days to move yourself toward O-1A eligibility: 🏗️ Your next 90 days, simplified - Join an Accelerator/Raise pre-seed: Acceptance into regional accelerators, university incubators (pre-accelerators), or niche industry programs counts as a “Prize” and validates the “Distinguished Organization” criterion. - Judge others: Volunteer to judge university hackathons, local startup weekends, or student pitch competitions. - Thought Leadership: Publish “lessons learned” or technical insights on Medium/Substack that get reshared by industry newsletters. - Join founder clubs: exclusive membership groups for young founders, e.g. Z-fellows, sigma squared These are realistic actions that directly support the O-1A’s “3 out of 8” criteria. Join us this Sunday and learn how to turn ordinary achievements into strong, defensible O-1A evidence. 📌 Qualifying for the O-1A: How to Build Achievable Evidence 🔗 Register: https://lnkd.in/gvQQBnRH Plus: a live Q&A where you can ask about your case.
