Recently got approved for EB1-B. I have applied for H1b (low approval rate) so worst case senario, I will still be on O1 visa this year. My main concern with interviewing and switching job is that it would require filing another O1 visa, and my current job (ML/AI) is in a different field than my O1 visa field (Low level storage system design). Do we need to approach our recommenders to get new referral letters when O1 visa application is filed again by the new employer? Has anyone been able to switch to a new company and get a new O1 visa approved? #o1visa #newjob #immigration
I will write you privately
Thanks!
Hey! No need to update the letters. And congratulations on finding a new employer who understands the O1. It should be a smooth process, and you’d need potentially a new letter from Google, and the “summary letter” will be different, but the evidences from the previous O1 remain the same. So in summary is really old evidence and letters + new evidence from Google + new summary letter connecting the dots (something easy for the immigration lawyers). Hope that helps.
