Immigration Solutions for Accomplished Professionals, Entrepreneurs, and Artists

EB-1A Extraordinary Ability Green Card

The EB-1A immigrant classification offers a path to permanent residence for individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.

Applicants may self-petition without a permanent job offer or labor certification. A successful petition requires persuasive evidence of sustained national or international acclaim and recognition placing the applicant among the small percentage who have risen to the top of the field.

We develop comprehensive EB-1A strategies, evaluate qualifying evidence, identify evidentiary weaknesses, and present the record within a cohesive legal framework.

O-1 Extraordinary Ability Visa

The O-1 classification is available to individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement in the sciences, education, business, athletics, arts, motion pictures, or television.

The O-1 can provide a flexible temporary visa option for accomplished professionals, artists, entrepreneurs, performers, and other individuals coming to the United States to continue work in their area of expertise. The petition must be filed by a qualifying U.S. employer or agent.

We advise beneficiaries, employers, and agents regarding eligibility, petitioner structures, itineraries, contracts, advisory opinions, and the evidence required to establish extraordinary ability or achievement.
