O-1 Extraordinary Ability Visas

The O-1 Visa, routinely called the superstar visa, is for persons of extraordinary ability. Individuals with an extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, business, athletics, education, motion picture and television are eligible for an O-1 visa, which will allow the individual to enter the United States temporarily. The O-1 visa is reserved for individuals who are considered to be at the top of their field.

O-1 status is initially granted for three years, but one year extensions are available. The spouses and unmarried children of O-1 visa holders may accompany the O-1 visa holder to the United States with an O-3 visa.

Additionally, O-2 visas are available to support staff of O-1 visa holders whose area of expertise is athletics, entertainment or motion picture and television. The spouses and unmarried children of O-2 visa holders are eligible for O-3 status as well.
