O Visas
(O1 Visa, O2 Visa - Individuals of Extraordinary Ability)

The O visa category is suitable for highly talented or acclaimed foreign nationals and their support staff. The O visa classification is especially helpful to artists, athletes, entertainers, chefs, and business people lacking professional degrees.

O-1 Visas (Individuals of Extraordinary Ability or Achievement): An O-1 visa beneficiary must have extraordinary ability "demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim." Only alien scientists, educators, business persons, and athletes who can document the required level of ability will be admitted in the O-1 category, provided they seek entry in the United States to continue work in their area of expertise.

O-2 Visas (Support Staff for O-1 Visa Holders): The O-2 visa category is suitable for aliens seeking to accompany O-1 visa holders in the arts, motion picture, television productions, and athletics as essential support staff.
