The O-1 nonimmigrant visa is for individuals who possess extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or who has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements.
We recently received an approval for an O-1 Visa for an Ecuadorian National who is an Actor/Comedian of extraordinary ability in film, stage and television. It was approved without a request for additional evidence and granted for the full three years requested. Congratulations to our artist client and his U.S. petitioner!
The O-1 visa can be granted for a period of stay of up to three years, depending on the time needed to accomplish the activity or event. Once a visa petition is approved at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), an applicant must apply for a physical visa for insertion in their passport at a consulate abroad to be able to enter the United States in O-1 status. Find out what are the required documents for a successful O-1 visa petition.
