Applying for O1 visa

[raysaikat]

This post probably should belong in the O visa forum, but I cannot post a thread there.

Can I apply for a O-1 Visa while I am on H1B? What happens if O-1 is denied? Does such a denial affect my H1B status and/or future O-1 applications?

--- what is your field for O1? if you are eligible for O1 you may be eligible for EB1 and can file I-140 directly
