At Ozek Law Firm, we are proud to assist individuals with extraordinary skills in their fields of expertise to secure U.S. visas and permanent residency. Whether you are an artist, athlete, scientist, or business professional, we understand the unique challenges that come with proving exceptional ability. Our experienced immigration attorneys specialize in handling cases for individuals applying for EB1, EB2 National Interest Waiver (NIW), and O1 visas.

If you are seeking to work, live, or permanently settle in the U.S. based on your extraordinary skills, our team will guide you through the visa application process, ensuring your case is presented in the best possible light.

EB1 Visas: Priority for Extraordinary Ability

The EB1 visa category is reserved for individuals who can demonstrate extraordinary ability in their field, whether in the sciences, arts, business, education, or athletics. This visa is highly coveted as it does not require employer sponsorship for certain applicants, and it grants priority processing for permanent residency.

EB1 Visa Categories:

• EB1-A (Extraordinary Ability): This visa is for individuals who have achieved a level of expertise that is recognized as being above the ordinary in their field. No offer of employment is required for this category.
• EB1-B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers): For those who have demonstrated excellence in academic or scientific research and are recognized internationally in their field.
• EB1-C (Multinational Managers and Executives): This category is for executives and managers of multinational companies who have worked for a qualifying organization outside the U.S. for at least one year in the past three years.

Our team at Ozek Law Firm will help you compile the necessary evidence to prove your extraordinary ability or international recognition, ensuring a successful EB1 application.

EB2 National Interest Waiver (NIW)

The EB2 NIW is a special category that allows individuals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability in their field to self-petition for permanent residency if they can demonstrate that their work is in the national interest of the United States. This visa does not require employer sponsorship, making it an excellent option for professionals who seek to contribute to U.S. society in a meaningful way.

EB2 NIW Requirements:

• You must show that you have an advanced degree or possess exceptional ability in your field.
• You must prove that your work will benefit the U.S. in a significant way, such as by contributing to the economy, advancing knowledge, or improving the cultural or scientific landscape.
• Unlike other EB2 categories, the NIW allows you to bypass the labor certification process, making it a faster route to permanent residency.

At Ozek Law Firm, we will guide you in gathering the evidence necessary to demonstrate that your work is in the national interest and will provide personalized strategies to strengthen your application.

O-1 Visas: For Individuals of Extraordinary Ability

The O-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows individuals with extraordinary ability in fields such as science, education, business, athletics, and the arts to work in the U.S. for a temporary period. The O-1 visa is highly flexible, making it a great option for professionals who have an extraordinary skill but are not yet seeking permanent residency.

O-1A Visa (Individuals with Extraordinary Ability in Business, Science, Education, or Athletics): This visa is for individuals who have demonstrated a high level of achievement and distinction in their field of expertise, whether in business, science, education, or athletics.

O-1B Visa (Individuals with Extraordinary Ability in the Arts or Motion Picture Industry): This visa is tailored for artists, entertainers, and those in the motion picture industry who have a demonstrated record of extraordinary accomplishment.

The O-1 visa is often issued for the length of the event or project, up to three years, with the possibility of extensions. Our firm will work with you to gather the necessary documentation, such as awards, media coverage, and recommendation letters, to ensure a successful O-1 application.
