US O-1 Visa Application
In today's world, more and more people seek to connect their lives with the United States of America, go there for permanent residence and find a job, and you too have such an opportunity. American immigration law establishes a certain procedure for entry and stay in the country for such applicants. For this, potential employees of American companies need to obtain the visa necessary for their case. Mostly, this requires an H visa. It should be noted that the US immigration law establishes many types of visas. Among them, the O-1 visa category stands out, which is a visa for outstanding figures in business, sports, science, education and the arts. Such people are not always US citizens. But, according to American policy, such people are always welcome on the territory of the United States. Obtaining an O-1 visa is quite difficult. However, it opens up a lot of possibilities. In fact, this is an alternative to the H-1B visa for those professionals who do not have a specialized higher education.
The O-1 visa is given to the best people in the world who suddenly are not US citizens. To do this, you need to be among the top 2% in a particular field, or to strongly interest organizations that deal with grants. To evaluate the applicant, a multi-level evaluation system has been established, with the help of which it is determined whether the applicant is worthy of this visa or not. Thus, the O-1 U.S. visa is a nonimmigrant visa for individuals with extraordinary (unique) ability or achievement in the sciences, arts, education, business, athletics, or extraordinarily recognized achievement in film or television, with an objectively stable national or international recognition of work in their field of expertise. The O-1 visa is valid for up to 3 years and can be renewed an unlimited number of times annually.
Please note that accompanying family members - holders of an O-2 visa category, for accompanying close relatives of an employee (spouse, children under the age of 21), the possibility of obtaining an O-2 visa is fixed. The lawyers and attorneys working with the law office of Gregory Krasovsky will be able to assist you in obtaining these categories of visas.
It is also necessary to indicate the benefits that are provided with an O-1 visa:
- the possibility of moving to the United States, official employment, decent pay;
- use in various fields of activity;
- no visa quotas (different from H-1B);
- the possibility of obtaining a Green Card without a labor certificate and confirmation of the employer.
However, the procedure for issuing visas of this category is quite complicated, because US immigration law has many nuances, especially considering that American law does not apply to the civil law system. In addition, to correctly apply for an O-1 visa, real evidence is required that the applicant is worthy of an O-1 visa and is an outstanding figure in his field. Therefore, the process of obtaining an American O-1 work visa is quite time-consuming and costly. In this case, it is necessary to find an inviting employer, fill out a certain number of documents and pass an interview at a consular organization. Of course, you can get an O-1 work visa yourself, based on articles on the Internet. However, qualified legal assistance will eliminate the risks when applying for a specific O-1 visa and significantly speed up the process of obtaining it, which is very important, since delay in obtaining this visa can adversely affect the client’s future career. Moreover, under this visa category, moving to the United States is often additionally associated with political motives.
