When You are Out of Options: O-1 Visa Eligibility & EB-1 Extraordinary Ability

When You Are Out Of Options: O-1 Visa Eligibility & Eb-1 Extraordinary Ability

With the ongoing and intensifying competition for talent, companies are constantly looking for ways to retain talent. Companies willing to sponsor potentially qualified candidates for O-1 and EB-1 extraordinary ability classification will not only attract talent but also help retain employees. From an employee standpoint, if being sponsored for an H-1B or L-1 is not possible or if waiting over a decade to secure one’s green card just doesn’t make sense, an exploration of O-1 work visa and EB-1A green card eligibility are things to consider.

In this session, partner and attorney Min Kim explored the possibility of EB-1 extraordinary ability and O-1 visa eligibility and how these often lesser-used options might help in securing the ability to work in the U.S. and/or expedite the Green Card process.
