In this masterclass episode, we’re joined by Rudra Roy Choudhury—immigration strategist, mentor, and community-builder—to break down the EB-1A visa through the lens of strategy, storytelling, and lived experience. Rudra walks us through his personal journey, the common pitfalls foreign nationals face, and how to craft a compelling case for “extraordinary ability” that stands up to scrutiny. We dive deep into category choice (EB-1A ), building visibility and influence through media and awards. Whether you’re in STEM, the arts, or entrepreneurship, Rudra shares actionable insights and hard-earned wisdom for those just starting out—and those almost ready to file. This is the episode to play on repeat if you're serious about crossing the threshold from great to extraordinary.
