The O-1A nonimmigrant visa is an uncapped 3-year employment based visa category designed for individuals who have demonstrated expertise in their field.
Our mission at Lighthouse is to democratize access to high-skilled immigration. Our team will work with you to map your accomplishments to the USCIS criteria to ensure a clear understanding of how to prepare a strong case for your application.
To be eligible for an O-1A visa, you need to meet at least 3 out of the 8 criteria outlined by the USCIS. The O-1A cannot be self-sponsored and requires a US sponsoring organization.
This visa allows you to showcase your professional or academic achievements, and it is often a great option for talented individuals with entrepreneurial ambitions to start or join a U.S. company. Applicants can come from a variety of industries and fields of expertise — we've supported individuals with professional or academic achievements in technology entrepreneurship, machine learning research, biotechnology, and software engineering.
