- I sat down with Soundarya Balasubramani (aka Pooja), who is an author and ex-product manager. She quit her job at Salesforce last year to walk a different path. In this video, she talks in depth about the O-1 visa, which is a better alternative to the H-1B. Are you looking for a faster path to your green card and not wait multiple decades? Watch this to learn more.

It was wonderful to sit down and record this and the other video with you, Harnoor :) Glad we got to meet, albeit briefly, when you came to SF!
@SnIpeR.7809 ok pjeet
@SnIpeR.7809 go straight to bad words. Typical pjeeth behaviour 🤣
Congrats Soundarya… by any chance, are you a June/July Cancerian ♋️ ?
You are a 💎. Kepp ⭐✨
@@MalluStyleMultiMedia July 30, leo :D
Can't even think of quitting a comfy job in India to pursue passion, she's got courage!! Inspirational
So do you ;) thanks, Vishal!
You have a wagie mentality dude.
I like how you casually said "If Priyanka Chopra can do you it , you can do it as well"
Literally😂
Sorry to say - Lots of misinformation here in this video. How does O1 put you on a faster path to green card. O1 is non immigrant visa while h1 is dual intent. If you qualify for EB1, you can apply for EB1 while on H1 and it will be the same time frame to get GC. O1 doesn’t guarantee a faster GC. There’s more flexibility with H1B visa. People who missed out on H1B lottery and are eligible for O1 are the ones applying for it.
This video was running in the background and the first time I heard her, she sounded like Priyanka Chopra, her voice is pretty similar to Priyanka’s. Great talk!! Good luck, Soundarya! You’re way ahead of others already, celebrate that and don’t fret about the GC or immigration
Soundarya's concepts are Crystal 🔮 Clear ...
FYI O1 is a non immigrant Visa, it doesn't allow dual intent. So when you file for GC or a Dependent it might be a problem best is talk to a lawyer and EB1B is not that easy. H-1B is relatively easier hence people prefer that.
What a knowledgable video. Loved how you speak and explain everything @Soundarya .. Would definitely read your book. It gives such a push to talk/listen to knowledgable ppl like you. Thank You Harnoor for sharing this.
All these EB 1 A or B is tough , best practical ways are:
1. Get Canada PR and passport in 3 years and come to US on TN
2. Ask your MNC company to transfer to foreign branch and return on L1A and EB1C
Wow 🤩🤩 most awaited
Good to see that she got the O1 visa. In the Uscis web page they talk about IEEE fellow as an example which can take 15-20 years after PhD.
Judging hackathons, Publishing papers, getting a job with high salary, getting journalists to talk about your work, ask your company lawyers about possibility for O-1;
Delegation of tasks amongst people, connecting with startups to market, less than 30% of time writing
Damn.. I was dabbling over O1 and E1B for a while as a student since it was emotionally difficult to be a student again after going through the phase of incubator like YC. Harnoor, I'm planning to start a decentralised autonomous organization for students in my campus. Would love to connect with you and talk more about the same. The idea is to cut down the education cost significantly for the participants with minimal effort
we are inspired by your capability to think outside of the book!
America has unique way of pulling extraordinary people to their country...
she is so much inspired by Priyanka. she is literally copying the accent of Priyanka.
Harnoor, I like your blogs. You bring a particular aspect of the world of a techie that many young budding tech aspirants from India will yearn for. I have personally gone past that stage in my life but I wish I was younger and was exposed to the possibilities that young guys like you have today.
Having seen this particular vlog with Soundarya and some of your other vlogs on you other channel, I am compelled to make a point to you.
What you are showing and what you and Soundarya are doing today are great stuff and I am sure you would reach great heights in your life. My best wishes are with you. However I have a qualm with both of you. Why are you encouraging youngsters to move out of India and build another country? If smart, intelligent and capable youngsters like you will keep leaving India, who will build India 🇮🇳? I know you didn’t study at any of the IITs. But do you know that the government of India spends 5 times the tuition fees on every IITian from tax payers’ money during the period of their course? Can you understand the pain when these guys leave India for another country to build that country and leaving India 🇮🇳 in a lurch? The same story repeats in every government funded engineering, medical, architecture, arts, commerce schools and colleges. These people do not contribute anything to India 🇮🇳 in their prime and worst some even curse the country, it’s people and the government when they are in another country.
I would sincerely urge you Harnoor, Soundarya and every one of you to go back to India 🇮🇳 , use your wealth of knowledge and expertise while you are still young and use your experience to start a startup of your own and make that into a unicorn in India 🇮🇳.
In my family, I have cousins who are from the IITs, government engineering and medical colleges but are all working in the US, Canada and Europe. I tell them the same and eventually become a black sheep in the family.
I urge both of you to not only help India 🇮🇳 grow but also spread this awareness among Indians and shun this blind exodus to the western countries just like people with colonised mindset.
Good luck to both of you. Thank you 😊.
Salesforce: Its a 9am - 9:30am job, one just shows up in standup and then go back to sleep.
😂😂😂😂
Excellent video.. she’s very unique
Way to go, @Soundarya! 🎉
thanks KB :D
She was on yudj channel for interview
yes ;)
Hey! My company is entirely remote and they do not sponsor O1 VISAs, I am curious as to what options do I have? I come from tech-startup space. Here are bunch of questions that it would be great if you could answer.
1. Does getting into accelerator with 100k - 10% terms allow one to get a O1 VISA?
2. Does high paying job which is remote but not based in US allow one to get a O1 VISA?
3. If my own company sponsors my VISA, what other things can I include?
Thanks!
I just want to say one thing. I've fallen in love with your personality Saundarya and ofcourse thanks for helping the community ✨
When she talk it feels like female version of Satya Nadella..
I feel like female version of Dulqar Salmon
Actually her voice is similar to Priyanka Chopra's voice.
So how is she currently staying in USA if she has already left her job?
Which visa allow us to stay in USA even without a job?
I'm employed at a startup on part-time H-1B and writing my book :)
@@thecuriousmaverick thanks for the reply.
Makes sense now!
@@thecuriousmaverick Sorry ..but why would I buy your book. You yourself is on the H1b visa. lets see if you get the green card and then we can talk ..
@@awesomekj5812 Good question! You're right -- I haven't gotten the EB-1 yet. But, I'm co-writing the book with a lawyer with 20+ years of experience, I'm speaking to dozens of immigrants who've gone through the O-1/EB-1 route to glean insights, and spending hundreds of hours researching. I think that gives three strong reasons, but hey, it's your choice ;)
@@thecuriousmaverick Lot of folks have done the same thing for H1b too ...utlimately all boils down to to luck / mood of visa officer then the file preparation or researching. I have seen folks not getting those EB1 even though they have like Phd , publications and all.
Hi Harnoor! Do big consultancy firms like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and others also sponsor O-1 visas? Are they also keen on O-1 as Big Tech companies are? Pls, let me know! Thanks!
They are less probable to file maybe, but that just might be lack of awareness :) wherever you're working right now, you should ask your manager/company lawyer about it.
You dont need a sponsor for O-1 visa
A foreign national cannot self petition for an O-1 visa. Since it's a temporary work visa, it requires the applicant to have a sponsor for the petition
business people can easily get anything
I think what you can refer me pcm jee advance chemistry books
Since you have left salesforce. In which visa are you in right now pooja? Because there is a clause of 90 unemployment days in your field of study correct?
Seems like Harnoor would apply for 01 visa
Why stay in the US? What does the US have that India doesn't?
My son is in AV industry ( autonomous vehicle)
His role is sr analyst.
Is his role plays specialist role for O1 visa?
Can you discuss about how is software engineering hard or ther
i am the most biggest fan of your from nepal
*Strange ...how much efforts qualified professionals are putting for US Visa...ha ha ha*
1:48 bhai ka dola! tauba! tauba!
❤
Bhai harnoor humne tumharee visa status ka video dekhna hain tum tumhara video banaooo yaar please
Harnoor, now how can you get work rights in USA

It's neither 50 years nor 80 years, it is 10-12 years. This is a non sense and BS info. Spread out by youtubers like Yudi and others who took it or want to take it via marriage. People who have a purpose of life none other than a GC
its 50 years at least dude for someone who has a PD in 2022 for Eb2. There are 500000 people in the queue and only 2800 visas for EB2 India per year. That means it will take (500000/2800) = 178 years to get the GC.
