O-1A Extraordinary Ability

The O-1A Extraordinary Ability visa and O-1B visa for artists, including UX/UI designers. The O-1 visa category is designated for individuals who possess extraordinary ability in their field or who have a demonstrated record of success in the realm of motion picture or television. We help business leaders and engineering experts secure O-1A visas for extraordinary ability and UX/UI designers to obtain their O-1B visa based on their extraordinary achievements in the field.

We commonly work alongside founders, hiring managers, and recruiters who are responsible for hiring the world’s best and brightest talent. Oftentimes, they identify an individual with extraordinary ability who would undeniably benefit their company’s growth but run into challenges when they try to secure the right legal immigration status to begin work. As knowledgeable and experienced O-1A visa attorneys, we work alongside HR professionals, People Ops, human resources, and company executives to secure the O-1A nonimmigrant visa for key employees who possess extraordinary abilities in their field.

H1-B Speciality Occupations

H-1B visasincluding H-1B lottery, extensions, amendments, portability, and transfers. Used by employers to hire professionals in specialty occupations, securing an H-1B visa can be unpredictable and daunting. H-1B visa hopefuls may submit their applications to the lottery – a system used to randomly select the individuals who can proceed to file an H-1B visa petition. While hundreds of thousands of individuals register for the H-1B lottery, roughly 20% are selected to proceed through the application process. We help our clients register for the lottery, extend their visas, amend their visa to account for significant changes to the terms and conditions of employment, and transfer their H-1B visas to a new employer.

“Very good experience! I applied for a NIW green card,. Without them, in this particularly challenging time, sure that the result would have been different, btw I have been approved.”* – J.M.
