Sampei Omichi, Founder, Ellis: a modern, tech-first immigration law firm

After graduation, he wasn’t approved for OPT, so he pursued his own O‑1 visa as a founder—an experience that opened his eyes to just how hard the immigration process can be, especially for global talent trying to stay and build in the U.S. He had spent over two years helping grow a crypto startup as one of its earliest employees, but when they couldn’t sponsor his H‑1B, he had to find his own way forward. That journey sparked the idea for Ellis. What began as a platform to help immigrants manage their journeys eventually evolved into a tech-first immigration law firm, one designed from the ground up by someone who lived the process and believed it could be done better. So, here’s what we’re going to talk about: 🔹 Sampei’s early life in Vietnam and Japan, and growing up attending an American school. 🔹 Sapmei’s move to the US to attend Babson College and his experience as an F-1 OPT student. 🔹 How Sampei went from losing the H-1B lottery to getting his O-1 to start Ellis. 🔹 What Ellis does today, what separates it from other immigration firms, and where it’s going.
