O-1 Person with Extraordinary Ability

O-1 classification applies to individuals who possess extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, have a demonstrated record of exceptional achievement in the motion picture or television industry, and have been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements. O-1 petitions must be filed by an employer.

O-1 parallels the permanent self-petition EB-1A, which applies to a person of extraordinary ability. Many individuals who qualify in O-1 often qualify in EB-1A. EB-1A allows you to apply for a Green Card.

Some applicants who couldn’t get the H-1B visa, P-visa, L-visa, and other visa categories may qualify for an O-visa.

O-visas can provide the beneficiaries and the companies a second chance to work in the U.S.
