MYTH VS. REALITY
USCIS lists 8 criteria. You need 3. Here's what each one actually means:
Industry awards, competitive grants, 'Top 40 Under 40' lists, pitch competition wins — recognition for excellence in your field.
Professional organizations requiring achievement for entry. IEEE Senior Member, honor societies, selective founders' networks.
Articles, interviews, or features in trade or major media about your work. TechCrunch, podcasts, industry journals.
Peer-reviewed papers, judged hackathons, evaluated grants, sat on hiring panels. Expert opinion counts.
A method, product, or innovation others adopted. Open-source tools, protocols, processes with real impact.
Authored articles in professional journals. Conference papers, white papers, technical blog posts on respected platforms.
Work displayed at notable events. Gallery shows, conference talks, film festivals, CES demos.
Compensation in the top 10-15% for your role and geography. Equity, bonuses, and contract rates count.
Not sure which apply? That's what the free evaluation is for.
HOW IT WORKS
Fill out a short form. We review your background against all 8 criteria. Within 2 business days: which criteria you meet, how strong your case is, and what needs strengthening. No cost. No obligation.
We match you with an attorney who specializes in O-1 cases in your field. Not a generalist. Pre-negotiated flat fee. No hourly surprises.
Your attorney builds the petition. We stay involved through filing. If denied? We cover the cost of refiling. We don't let you move forward unless we believe in your case.
Well-prepared O-1 cases exceed 90% approval — because the evaluation happens before a single dollar is spent.
Check My O-1 Eligibility — FreeEvery year in the H-1B lottery is a year of visa anxiety. The H-1B has ~27% odds — a 73% chance of rejection every year.
A denied petition costs attorney fees, months of time, and makes the next filing harder.
A generalist charges $10K and treats your O-1 like an H-1B with extra paperwork.
