I have seen an increased number of people getting visas based on extraordinary abilities. Some only have a news paper article that someone in their country published and some interesting project they did and that ends up qualifying them for an O-1 visa. You don't have to have a PhD or Nobel laureate to get these.

an argentine friend of mine, well known in JS world, has an O1 visa. so did a french friend of mine, who is a renowned graphic designer. but, you really don't need to be tesla or einstein to qualify

Interesting. I didn’t think you have to be a von Neuman, but I always thought you’d have to be of a calibre like, say, Linus Torvalds.
