We just had a first-time O-1A petition approved without RFE by the California Service Center for a recently graduated microbiome scientist on STEM-OPT. The beneficiary had played a critical role in developing cutting-edge microbiome testing solutions for the industry, and applied for an O-1A visa to simultaneously work for their employer and also develop their new startup. The initial O-1 was approved for 3 years. The O-1 can be a versatile option for professionals who have received a certain degree of recognition in their fields. To learn more about the O-1 visa, take a look at our free resources below. You can also schedule a consultation at a date and time that is best for you.
