O-1 Visa: Extraordinary Ability Or Achievement (including the “Artist Visa”)
The O-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the individual who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or who has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements.
The O nonimmigrant classification is commonly referred to as:
O-1A:
Individuals with an extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business, or athletics (not including the arts, motion pictures or television industry). For O-1A purposes, extraordinary ability signifies a level of expertise indicating that an individual is one of the small percentage who have risen to the very top of their field.
O-1B:
