The O-1 visa allows individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement to work in the United States in their area of expertise.

If you have built a strong record of accomplishments and recognition in your field, the O-1 may provide a flexible way to continue your career and professional work in the United States.

Atlas Roots Law helps you evaluate your qualifications, develop a strategy around your strongest achievements, and prepare a well-supported O-1 petition.

O-1A

For individuals with extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business, or athletics.

O-1B

Key Requirements

In general, O-1 eligibility requires sustained national or international acclaim and temporary work in the United States in the area of extraordinary ability or achievement.

In some cases, comparable evidence may be used when the listed criteria do not readily apply to the occupation.

An O-1 petition also generally requires a qualifying U.S. petitioner, such as an employer or agent, along with documentation concerning the work you plan to perform in the United States.
