The criteria for O1 visas aren't very specific, and obviously code jam can't in itself be a reason. It may however add evidence, as winning awards etc. You would have to explain the significance of your achievement, just saying top x% sounds weak. Explaining the significance of being a finalist should be straight forward. If you finish in the top several hundred I'm impressed, but I'm not sure the immigration officials will be. On the other hand this can be made to work both ways, by phrasing things nicely people have inflated there precised achievements and successfully landed O1 visas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
