O-1 Extraordinary Ability

O-1 Extraordinary Ability Visa Strategy

The O-1 visa may help individuals with extraordinary ability work in the United States through a qualifying U.S. employer or agent petitioner.

Eligibility depends on case-specific facts.

O-1 is not a pure self-petition. It generally requires a U.S. employer, U.S. agent, or qualifying petitioner structure.
