    Question:
    Is O 1 visa dual intent?
    Answer:
    Even though the O-1 Visa is in a nonimmigrant status category, a foreign national may have quasi-“dual intent” under O-1 status. Accordingly, an approved labor certification or filed immigrant visa petition will not jeopardize the foreign national's O-1 status or ability to extend his or her O-1 status.

    Applying for this visa is not an easy process. The quickest way for someone to get it is through undeniable recognition, like a Nobel or Pulitzer prize.

    LACK PLAYBACK VOLUME & DISPLAY MIRRORING.

    If anyone is buying this firestick only because of the volume keys upfront which were missing in the previous models, don't buy this. It doesn't control playback volume of the fire stick instead firestick remote detects the infrared signals of the TV, and controls TV volume. Pretty useless for me as I have bought this to control playback volume of the firestick because my wireless hands free doesn't have any buttons for volume. Thanks to Amazon return policy . I have made the return request. Also this one missing display mirroring I mean why? Other than that new firestick is flowless and more powerful than previous models.
