Hi!
*O1* VISA does not depend on the *X* number of publications, but more along the lines of your contribution to your company, the nature of the job, responsibilities and how important you are for your firm!
Since this is not a self-petitioned VISA, primary sponsor of your cause i.e.
your firm has to be strong in supporting your case. The company first and foremost be willing to state in details as how valuable you are to its business, your duties should invariably support any of its\' business needs , i.e. reasearch, sales, productivity etc.
The INS will understand primarily your business/technical expertise which will make the difference. Also salary level and commanding position would add to it. Only a researcher with Ph.D. with "X" No. of publications wouldn\'t do, but adequate experience with facts stating correlation of the business needs would certainly add in your favor.
A VISA that has been sought by many deserving candidates from Fortune-500 firms would likely be lot easier since the name recognition is a factor that will be hard to overlook for the INS. Such a company stating all the necessary facts and wording accordingly, would make the strong case of the candidate, a lot easier, than the case of similar candidate from a small company.
Lastly, the letter of recommendations from your peers, and that too, from the competitiors would make a great difference. It will make an impact in stating how valuable you are in your field, irrispective of your position with your present employer. It should make a statement that your affiliations, background and expertise would be welcome even by the rival firms, if they need to employ you.
Kindly look for *O1* expert lawyers, since every law firm is not adequate in handling cases such as *O1*..The difference between NIW and that of *O1* primarily stands where NIW needs documentation in your scholastic persona (in most cases), where *O1* requirs strong support from your firm with additional references.
Documents needed:
- A resume that reflects strong work experience, which can be backed up by strong worded letters of reference from the past/present employers, colleaguaes, subject-matter experts, such as those who hold advisory/council position(s) on various organization(s).
_ Letter of support from your present employer sighting crucial factor of *you* being the *right employee* for the position, and how difficult it is to seek another employee *in case where you may need to be relived from the job position*, and direct consequences for business.
It can be shown by direct correlation whereby your absence can create havoc such product launched is affected, resulting in $$ loss of revenues / loss of overall project implementation / highly skilled person to replace you is unavailable..
The statement from the company should also say that you are a person of an *extraordinary abilities* to do *this job due to the qualifaications* found unparallel etc..A few letters from direct competetiors would certainally make the difference.
Membership of professional organizations which carry weightage and prominance..
The letter of support for my wife (supposed to have been drafted by her company!), was written by me, and that\'s why I can suggest you all these suggestions, since she got her O-1 approved, established the fact itself.
