If they are “super talented,” then why not the O-1 visa?

I think that's for internationally recognised level people rather than just super talented at what you do?

Am on O-1 visa, would consider myself closer to super talented than internationally recognised. It’s very achievable if you put the right kind of work in.

Some blogs for the curious:

Sometimes the forceful and imaginative implementation is more valuable than the idea. Do you think that might be why you got an O-1?
