SMA Immigration Law Firm and Steve Maggi are incredibly proud to be a part of the "Extraordinary Alien Underground," recently featured in a great article in the San Francisco Standard. Steve Maggi recently moderated a panel at the Create the Future Summit in Berkeley, California, which featured clients Sigil Wen and Tord Olav Dønnum, along with another O-1 visa holder, founder Julius Ritter, who discussed their immigrant journeys. Recently, an article featuring both Sigil and Julius was published, detailing the movement within the immigrant founder community in Silicon Valley and the struggles of the O-1 Extraordinary Ability visa process. We are so proud to see how this community is banding together and to be on the ground floor of this movement! #ImmigrationLaw #O1Visa #ExtraordinaryAbility #ImmigrantFounders #SiliconValley #CreateTheFuture #CommunitySupport #ImmigrantJourney #SFAliens #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #SteveMaggi #smalawfirm https://lnkd.in/encvfi9A

Your O1 was approved in less than 72 hours - this must be some sort of a new record!" 😲 After spending 3-4 months gathering documents, I was stunned and overjoyed.
