Today, we share some successful O-1A cases to help you assess your qualifications.
Startup Executive
This applicant is an executive at a startup, having previously worked for 3-4 years in investment banking before starting the company. The applicant initially launched the company overseas, where it secured funding and garnered significant media coverage. The decision was later made to move the company to the U.S., thus requiring a relevant work visa. Based on the applicant’s leadership role, high salary, and media coverage, the case went through premium processing and was approved in a single submission.
Educational Institution Founder
This applicant is the founder of an educational institution and sought a visa to expand their business into the U.S. However, because all the institution’s teachers are contract workers or part-time employees, the applicant was unable to apply for a multinational executive visa (L-1 visa). Nevertheless, the applicant had won numerous educational awards, published professional papers, and served as a judge in several competitions, which led to the direct approval of the O-1A visa application.
Tech Giant Financial Director
This applicant is the financial director at a major technology company with over 20 years of work experience. Based on the applicant’s executive position, high salary, and extensive media coverage, the USCIS approved the O-1A visa application without delay.
Serial Entrepreneur
This applicant is a serial entrepreneur with experience in both China and the U.S. Before obtaining the O-1A visa, the applicant’s most recent position was as an executive at a startup in China. After receiving an offer from a U.S.-based startup, the applicant applied directly for the O-1A visa.
