What is the O-1 visa?

The O-1 visa is for individuals with extraordinary ability in their field. It allows you to work temporarily in the U.S. based on past achievements, awards, media, and expert endorsements.

Who qualifies for an O-1?

O-1A is for those in sciences, business, education, or athletics. O-1B is for those in the arts, film, or television. You must meet 3 out of 8 criteria (or 2 out of 6 for O-1B).

Can I get a green card from an O-1?

Yes. The O-1 visa is "dual intent," meaning you can apply for a green card (often EB-1A or EB-2 NIW) while in O-1 status.
