O Extraordinary Ability

O Extraordinary Ability

The O-1 Visa is for the individuals who possess extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or who have a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry. O-1 Visas can be granted only on the basis of individual qualifications. To prove the individual’s extraordinary ability, evidence must be adequate to support extraordinary ability as demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim, substantial documentation in at least three of the evidence categories defined by statute and an offer of employment from a U.S. employer. Additionally, before an O-1 Visa can be granted, the individual must go through a special consultation process and must get an “advisory opinion” from a peer group, a group of professionals in the individual’s occupation or profession, or from a union, labor, or management organization. Spouses and children under the age of 21 may be eligible to apply for an O-3 Visa.
