Hi, Peter. Thank you for taking questions again.

Would you recommend a 3rd year(2 more years to go) US PhD student with moderate research portfolio( + strong recommender )to look into EB2/NIW or O1 visa? The end goals are to immigrate to the US and avoid H1B lottery.

The O-1 and NIW standards aren't as high as most people think and most PhDs (and PhD candidates) qualify.

Thank you. Would it help the process if the degree is from an US institution? I am debating whether to transfer out to an European institutions as my PI is moving there.

Does that apply broadly to PhDs or just tech related ones? I'm thinking specifically about a PhD in Political Science, dealing in tech adjacent national security topics.
