Sohan Sethi, a 29-year-old Indian data analytics and AI professional, successfully secured an O-1 visa to continue his career in the United States after being rejected from the H-1B visa lottery three times.

To qualify for the O-1 visa, which requires proof of extraordinary ability, Sethi compiled over 700 pages of evidence and incurred approximately $13,000 in legal fees. Originally from Mumbai, Sethi moved to Chicago in January 2022 to pursue a master's degree at the University of Illinois Chicago after completing a computer engineering degree at the University of Mumbai.
