Streamer Jinny faced an awkward line of questioning during her entry into the United States when a customs officer asked if her “extraordinary skill” for her O-1 visa was related to OnlyFans.
It happened as Jinny, known for her travel and IRL content, was going through standard immigration procedures. The O-1 visa she was presumably traveling under is specifically designed for individuals with “extraordinary ability” in fields like arts, science, education, or athletics—including digital content creation.
Instead of focusing on her legitimate streaming career, the customs officer hinted that her skills might be in adult entertainment, creating an uncomfortable moment during what should’ve been a routine process.
US customs officers have been criticized before for unprofessional behavior. Travelers often report negative experiences with border officials, with many describing interactions as hostile or inappropriate—especially for women and foreign nationals.
O-1 visas require applicants to show significant achievement and recognition in their field. For content creators like Jinny, this typically means providing evidence of substantial viewership, media coverage, and industry recognition—achievements that deserve professional respect.
This situation points to ongoing concerns about how digital creators are perceived by government officials, despite streaming and content creation being legitimate, multi-billion dollar industries.
Online reactions were swift, with many calling the customs officer’s comment a form of sexual harassment and noting that such behavior reflects poorly on America’s image to international visitors.
