Who is Saiman Shetty?

I come from from a small town in Coastal Karnataka, India.

Moved to the US for grad school, I landed good engineering jobs after grad school, and worked at Tesla, Nuro, and Lyft, but failed in the H-1B lottery.

That’s what prompted me to work hard towards the EB-1A. Today, I am a Staff Technical Program Manager at Aurora, and I built my own program to help foreigners get their EB-1A Green Card in a year.


I’m super active on LinkedIn. I post a lot about robotics & self-driving vehicles, and love using my experiences to help people.
