Amidst Visa Crisis, This Indian Got Special USA Visa

Getting a US visa is a dream for hundreds of thousands of people in India. Every year lakhs of people apply for the US visa but a majority of them face disappointment at the rejection of their application. But there’s a man from Navi Mumbai, who has been granted the special ‘Einstein Visa’ for a special skill. Mangesh Ghogre, who is an investment banker is an expert at creating crossword puzzles.

The USA grants Employment Based Immigration (EB-1) visa, also known as the ‘Einstein Visa’ to people who display extraordinary talent in science, arts, business, education or athletics.

For Mangesh Ghogre, this talent is the ability to create the best crossword puzzles. His work has been featured in global newspapers like the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal etc.

He recently got featured in the New York Times for his crossword that was themed after the Taj Mahal. More importantly, this feature was planned to be published on 15th of August celebrating India’s independence day but was published a day later due to some technicalities.

This special talent of Mangesh not only brought him accolades from all around the world but also an American visa, that too, a special one.
