Am I eligible for O1
- Thread starter shaid
- Start date
I have 7 published papers in the energy, oil and gas field, working in a renowned nationasl lab in the US for about 2 years now. Just filed three patents, 2 first author papers soon to be communicated, and 4-5 second author papers. Worked for a year with a renowned researcher in my field in Europe too. Have around 20 + conference presentations and a book chapter. I have 8 recommendation letters from renowned people from my field to support my petition. A fortune 500 company has hired me and wishes to petition O1 for me. What are my chances?
The O1 nonimmigrant visa for aliens with the extraordinary ability is reserved specifically for foreign nationals who exhibit sustained national or international acclaim in their field of endeavor.
The Extraordinary Ability in the sciences, education, business, or athletics must be demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim, and evidenced by either (1) the receipt of a major, internationally recognized award or (2) the fulfillment of at least three of eight criteria set forth in the regulations. (also see http://www.greencardapply.com/o1visa/o1visa_qualify.htm)
Here, it looks like the "shaid" does not meet the O1 requirement, but "EMR0206" has mush better chance to get O1 visa approval.
