What is the O-1A Visa?

Often overlooked, O1-A visa is a three-year visa for Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievements.

Startup Founders who have raised capital from Venture Capital funds or top startup Accelerators are likely eligible for the O-1A Visa. O1-A gives the Beneficiary a pathway to permanent residency via the Green Card process. Allowing unlimited extensions renewable in 1-year increment, with no academic requirements, no annual cap, and no wage requirements – O1-A is one of the most flexible and underutilized options for startup Founders and their key early employees.
