Services
Whether you are pursuing an O-1 work visa or a green card through EB-1 or EB-2 NIW, the work is the same at its core: showing clearly, with evidence, what you have already achieved. We prepare that case from first audit to final petition.
Every petition is reviewed, signed and filed by your independent licensed partner immigration attorney.
Visa pathways
Each visa asks a slightly different question about your record. Start with the one that matches your field and your goals, temporary work authorization or permanent residence.
Many clients qualify for more than one. We often plan an O-1 now and a green card petition later, built on the same evidence.
O-1A · Work visa
For founders, executives, engineers, researchers and athletes with a U.S. employer or agent. Meet at least 3 of 8 criteria, or show a major internationally recognized award.
Explore O-1AO-1B · Work visa
For artists, performers, directors, designers and creative leads. Meet at least 3 of 6 criteria, or show a major award or nomination such as an Oscar or Grammy.
Explore O-1BEB-1A · Green card
For people at the top of their field who want to self-petition, with no job offer or labor certification. Meet 3 of 10 criteria, then the final merits review.
