I am in transtion to another company. Currently I am H1B visa holder. I talked to one lawyer and he said I am qualifed for O1. Now the question is What\'s the advantages and disadvantage of H1-B and O1? What\'s the time frame?

Thank in advances!

It takes just ten days to get O-1 visa and it is better than H1 in all aspects including indefinite time period and with o-1 you are respected/valuable stuff for USA.

Umesh,
Do you need to be a Ph.D. to obtain the O visa? Are Masters degree in engineering with about six publications, AIChE local chapter award, P.E., seven years experience qualify for an O visa?

Thanks in advance.

No. Ph.D is not must. You need to have good attorney who can present whatever we have. Do not woory about their specifications. Attorney can present the way that works.
