Can you anyone experienced with O1 assess if my profile below is a suitable candidate for O1 or is my profile weak and I should focus on E2 route?

1. Published Articles About Your Work
   • Nothing at the moment but I get 2 articles published about my work and interview on a couple of well renowned media
2. Peer Review Activities
   • CES Innovation Awards judge
   • Judge at couple of mid tier Hackathons (Students + Professionals)
   • Reviewed a couple of IEEE papers
   • Reviewed code for a team and worked on code audits as CEO/CTO
3. Scholarly Publications
   • Have gotten 2 - 3 articles published in a mid tier media written by me (technical in nature about AI/LLMs/RAG)
4. Critical Role
   • CEO/CTO for a Software Development Company for more than 13+years
   • Founding AI Engineer at a US Based Startup (Seed Funding) for last 1.5 years
5. High Salary
   • Should be in the top 10% in my country

Some insights whether O1 would be a good fit for or not would be helpful. TIA

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to connect with people from Pakistan who have successfully obtained an E-2 Investor Visa for the US, or are currently going through the process.

I have a few questions regarding:

• Business investment requirements and how much you invested
• Process or purchasing the business and how you transferred the funds
• Common challenges or mistakes to avoid
• Whether you used an immigration lawyer or handled it yourself

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience, costs involved, timeline, and any advice you’d give to someone considering this route.

Thanks in advance!

I'm deciding between buying Kia Sorento FWD or Chery Tiggo 9 - I know Sorento is probably 2M more than Tiggo 9 but is it worth it?

Also any ideas how will these cars perform in the used car market if I plan to sell it in a couple of years down the road.
