How I became an alien of extraordinary ability: US visas
In this episode, Benny shares his fascinating journey through the complex world of US visas, from his early days on a J-1 visa working summer jobs in New York to securing the infamous O-1 visa – better known as the ‘Alien of Extraordinary Ability’ visa. He reflects on how his blogging success and language-learning mission helped him qualify for this unique status, as well as the challenges of maintaining US residency while travelling the world.
Benny also dives into the realities of the green card process, how a special travel permit has allowed him to keep his US residency despite years of globetrotting, and why he eventually plans to move back to Europe. Whether you’re curious about long-term travel, visa logistics, or just want a behind-the-scenes look at the bureaucracy of being a digital nomad, this episode is packed with insights and entertaining stories.
