O-1 Visa Attorney in San Jose

Representing Individuals with Extraordinary Abilities

An O-1 nonimmigrant visa is for individuals who have made outstanding contributions or possess distinguished skill in business, education, the sciences, the arts, or an athletic field. Their family members and essential personnel may be able to join them in the U.S. as well.

The O-1 category is divided into the following visas:

• O-1A: individuals with extraordinary abilities in the sciences, business, education, or athletics
• O-1B: individuals with extraordinary abilities in the arts or achievements in the motion picture/television industry
• O-2: the O-1 artist or athlete’s essential personnel at their events or performances
• O-3: the spouses and children of O-1/O-2 visa holders

The O-1 visa, however, is one of the most difficult visas to obtain. You must include substantial, compelling evidence that demonstrates your distinguished abilities, international recognition, and/or groundbreaking contributions to your field. At the Law Offices of Timothy D. Widman, we assist individuals and businesses from all around the world, and our attorney has more than 20 years of experience helping clients navigate complex application processes.
