The client, who filed his first O-1 visa petition with us, filed his second O-1 petition with his employer, and was granted an extension, but when he was fired from his job, he had problems with his visa and came to us again. Since the petition had to be filed within the grace period, we urgently prepared the petition with our Expedited Handling service, which is a processing service that we offer for a small fee for clients who have a limited amount of time left in their status or who need to proceed urgently due to various circumstances. Since the client had already accomplished so much, we were able to expedite the process for his O-1 petition, but he had difficulty explaining his reasons for receiving an O-1. However, our immigration team did research for him and helped him with setting up the plan. We also applied for Premium Processing, our expedited petition service, and were able to provide you with approval news within a week of receiving your documents from USCIS without requesting additional evidence. We congratulate him on the approval and wish him continued success in his field.
The O-1B visa is available to those with extraordinary ability in the field of art, film, broadcasting, etc. The O-1B visa requires the petitioner to have an employer or agency. In the case of an agency, you can work as a freelancer, but in the case of an employer, you must work for the employer’s company or organization, and if you are fired, your O-1 visa will be invalidated. Generally, O-1s do not have a grace period, but if you lose your O-1 visa in the middle of the process, there is a 60-day grace period. Meeting all of the requirements of the USCIS while highlighting your strongest skills and accomplishments, such as the O-1 visa, can be difficult and time-consuming for individuals. In addition, misinformation circulating on the internet can cause problems with your visa status. Therefore, it is important to work with an attorney who has experience in approving visas for these specialties and who can communicate well with you. Our immigration attorneys have unparalleled experience with O-1A and O-1B visas, as well as other immigration cases, and prioritize communication with our clients. As a result of our experience, we keep up to date with the latest visa and immigration trends, and we are quick to read and adopt the latest trends from the USCIS.
