Hi
William:
In
my home country, our group
of motion pictures once received a national award. Can I apply for O-1
visa
based on this national acclaim as a leading
member of the group?
Answer:
O-1 visas are
available to people who have
not only a job offer in the U.S., but proven extraordinary ability in
the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.
In general, the person must have received national or international
acclaim in a particular field,
or if working in motion pictures or television productions, have a
demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement.
O-1
visas can be given only on the basis of
a person’s individual qualifications. Being a members of a
group or
team will not, by
itself without other achievements, qualify someone for an O-1 visa.
