1) Thanks again for doing these threads, so helpful in a sea of so much uncertainty.

2) I’m currently on a O1 (that you actually helped get), do you know if in post-Trump era re-petitioning to change employers (or extending at the same employer) has got much stricter?

3) As I understand it, O1 can’t lead tho a green card, if I’m interested in that is there anything else I can do currently?

Thanks again so much!

Even though little if any deference is given to previous approvals now, in the O-1 context, it's still easier to get the second O-1 approved through a new company. And while an O-1 isn't a path to a green card - no status is - those in O-1 status often qualify for an EB1A green card.
