Extraordinary ability O-1. Get a PhD, a few notable publications and conference talks, 5-7 recommendation letters from credited industry professionals + some other paperwork and you should be all set.

read this interesting article[1] about the O-1 process for a writer the other day, it's worth a read. i did the H1B --> Greencard route as a unix guy from the UK. took a long time to get all the bits & pieces aligned, but worth it.

O-1 is getting harder. You really want a postdoc as well at this point.
Isn't O1 incredibly easy to get in the arts ? It's insane that it continues to be so much harder to get it in the Sciences.
I’ve been hearing that. Don’t think it was ever easy to begin with but not a ton of options to choose from…
