O-1 Work Visa
O-1 Work Visa General Information: The O Visa classification consists of three visas: O-1, O-2
and O-3. The O-1 Visa is for individuals with extraordinary abilities within
science, arts, education, business, or athletics at the national or
international level. Individuals with a record of extraordinary achievements
within motion picture and/or television can also apply for the O-1 Visa as long
as the work performed is in an area of extraordinary achievements. O-2 Visas are
for supporting individuals of the O-1 Visa holder, and the relationship between
the O-1 and O-2 Visa holder must have been long lasting. The spouse and
unmarried children of O-1 Visa holders are entitled to O-3 Visas to come to the Unites
States with the main O-1 Visa holder.
O-1 Work Visa Eligibility Requirements:
The work performed must be temporary. The individual must
possess skills that are extraordinary within the field of sciences, arts,
education, business, athletics, or within the field of motion picture or
television industry. Examples of proof of extraordinary ability can be
contracts, awards, nominations, prices, published material or similar
documentation reflecting the nature of the individual’s achievement.
