Free assessment

Tell us about your record.

Two minutes if you just paste your LinkedIn. You will get a read on all eight O-1A criteria, the evidence that supports each one, and an honest note on what is missing. The optional questions below make the read sharper.

LinkedIn profilerequired

This is the only thing we need. Everything below makes the assessment sharper, and you can skip all of it.

Emailoptional

Your scorecard opens on the next screen either way. Leave your email if you want the link sent to you as well.

Full nameoptional

We take it from your profile if you leave this blank.

Your fieldoptional

O-1A is judged relative to others in your field, so this shapes the whole assessment.

Have you been backed by a VC?required

YesNo

Funding from a named investor is evidence for the critical role and original contribution criteria, so it moves the score.

Current visa statusrequired

Your status today decides whether the O-1 is filed as a change of status or through a consulate, and how the timing works around OPT or an H-1B.

Resume or CVoptionalstrongly recommendedChoose a PDF, up to 25 MBBrowse

Six questions a search engine cannot answer

Most of what wins an O-1A is private: appointment letters, admission decisions, contracts, pay records. None of it is on the web, so if you skip these we will score you on what a stranger could find, which is not your record. Every one is optional and a rough answer beats none.

What selective programs have admitted you personally?optional

Accelerators, incubators, fellowships, residencies, societies, invitation-only groups. For each: how many applied, how many got in, and who made the decision.

Has anyone asked you to review, judge, or score other people's work?optional

Reviewing papers or grant applications, sitting on a jury, an admissions panel, a hackathon or pitch competition. Tell us who asked and whether you finished.

What has been written about you by someone other than you?optional

Any language. The outlet, the date, the author, and a link or a copy.

What have you written or published anywhere?optional

Journals, conference papers, industry or trade publications, preprints. Titles and venues are enough.

What do you earn, or what have you been offered?optional

Base, bonus, and equity. A range is fine. If you pay yourself a founder's salary, tell us what your stake is worth and what the company has raised.

What has your organization achieved while you were there, and what did you personally bring in?optional

Funding rounds and named investors, signed customers, pilots, grants, prizes, contracts.

Anything else that makes your case unusualoptional

Everything below the first two fields is optional. Free, no account, and submitting does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Why the resume matters: It is optional, but it is the single highest-signal thing you can give us. Without it the assessment leans entirely on the public record, which is thinner for most people than their actual record.
What we do with LinkedIn: We do not scrape it. The URL tells us who you are, and from there we search for the press, publications, and awards that USCIS actually weighs. Nobody was ever approved because of a job title.
Your documents: Stored privately and used only to prepare your assessment.
