Immigration requirements are one thing that has been left out of "you don't need a degree" discussion. I'm extremely fortunate and lucky to have had a popular open source project, which allowed me to get the only* US work visa that doesn't require a degree.https://twitter.com/ur_friend_james/status/1102996280710619136 …

O1 is pretty hard, I wouldn't undersell whatever evidence you used yourself. It also varies depending on the officer that reviews your case, how well it was written etc. It's a very risky visa to get, in that you could be rejected and waste time/money.
Got into the US, am in tech, no degree. Not as popular as Also the degree requirement is 4 years (at least for a H1B). 1 year of a degree is equivalent to 3 years of work experience. So 12 years of work experience, not super tenable for most people, and impossible for anyone under 30.

I agree O1 is pretty hard and takes a lot of funds and frustration and time. But it was the only visa available to me where I could clearly figure out what inputs I need to get an outcome. No lotteries or depending on others’ good will

I'm in tech, don't have a CS degree, and am not from a European country. O1 is still a few years of seniority away.
