O-1 Extraordinary Ability Work Visas

The O-1 visa is a temporary (nonimmigrant) work visa available for individuals who have demonstrated "extraordinary ability" in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics.  O-1 visa applications must be sponsored by a U.S. employer, which means you cannot file an O-1 application independently without employer support.
