#2I was expecting something like applying for the green card lottery and winning. Which is roughly 6 months from the deadline till the winners are announced.

#3Thanks for sharing this info. I've heard it discussed on HN before too that getting an EB-1 visa isn't what it sounds like in theory (i.e. you don't need to be a Nobel prize winner or something).
BTW great work on velocity. I've heard of it before too. Super useful library. Definitely a win win for you and the open source community.

#4Thank you, this is incredibly useful (and motivating)!
Re: undefined
#5Unfortunately not currently possible as EB1 priority dates are no longer current for any country. Will take a while longer than 6 months at the moment.

#6This is great advice. I did basically the same thing to get the UK version of this visa - the Tier 1 Exceptional Talent visa. I'll write about it sometime.

#7The process & execution detailed here is further evidence backing the EB-1 application of the author. Many engineers of popular open source projects neither monetize their work, nor do they work their way towards ancillary benefits, like the author. Fully deserved. Congrats!

#8Haha, he is a big deal, though. That’s a popular library.

#9Frankly, that guy seems to deserve his EB-1 just for his popular JS framework (if it is really that popular). Not many good developers are that lucky.

#10You wrote an incredibly helpful article for software engineers and a random guy from the internet writes a two words review: Thank you!!!!
