Requirements, Process, and Free Case Evaluation
The answer to this question depends on the original strength of your file. Requirements by United States Customs and Immigration Services are always updated as new Immigration policies take place. The United States Government officers can often require that letters be updated to new standards. Our firm helps our clients with updating and guiding our clients whom to obtain these letters from.
The O1 Visa is an employment based visa, thus, you must have an employment offer to apply for the visa. The employment offer, is also sometimes called the deal memo or job offer. This must be accompanied by an itinerary if you will be working on several different projects in several different locations.
The employer can act as your sponsor. A sponsor is a United States corporation or United States resident who will support your application to work in the United States. Your employer can be your sponsor, or you can have a different person acting as an agent for one or multiple employers. You can have multiple employers in your application. In fact, this is one of the advantages of the O1 Visa, is that you are allowed to submit multiple job offers and upon approval, work for more than one employer. You must, however, submit all the employers in your application. If you change or add employers during the course of your O1 visa, you must notify the United States government of your change in employment to continue working legally.
For an extension, we request a copy of your old file from you or your previous attorney to review it and establish the updated requirements for the O1 Visa criteria.
