The Unshackled Annual Conference (UAC) is the first of its kind: a historic gathering of 1000+ high-skilled immigrants, investors, advocates, and tech leaders.
This is a movement.
Built for people navigating talent visas like EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1, and EB-5

Where immigration meets execution, and high-skilled immigrants like you learn how to take back control with EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1 talent-based visa strategies.
Immigration. Innovation. Investment
It’s where engineers, artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, creators, and more come together to build real strategies for self-petition green cards, using the power of their own work, reputation, and story.

Identify the right green card path (EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1)
Frame your work for USCIS standards
Use digital branding to supercharge evidence

EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1
EB-1A: Green Card for People with Extraordinary Ability
No sponsorship. No job offer needed. No labor certification.
If you have proof of leadership, impact, published work, awards, media recognition, or original contributions—you might qualify. The bar is high, yes. But it’s doable and increasingly common.
EB-2 NIW: National Interest Waiver
If your work benefits the U.S. and you're doing something that has national importance, the NIW lets you skip employer sponsorship—even without a PhD.
This is the most underutilized visa strategy for early- to mid-career immigrants in STEM, health, AI, climate tech, and public policy.
O-1 Visa: For Extraordinary Talent
It’s fast. It's flexible. If you’ve got a strong public profile, awards, critical roles, or press coverage, you might get an O-1 approved in 90 days. Many use the O-1 as a stepping stone to EB-1A.
