How to pass the O-1 Visa interview?
First of all, make sure you have all the required documents with you and be on time for the interview!
Your application may be rejected if any of your responses are wrong, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Practice with your spouse, and make sure that if your spouse is required to participate in the interview, he or she is prepared as well.
If you’ve gotten this far in the application process, you have a good chance of getting an O-1 visa as long as your answers are accurate.
Who can apply for a O-1A visa?
Extraordinary talent is judged in the same way for O-1A purposes as it is for EB-1A purposes in sciences, athletics, and business.
Either the individual must exhibit a once-in-a-lifetime feat worthy of an Olympic medal or a Nobel Prize, or they must meet the following criteria:
Participation as a judge of the work of others in the area, either individually or as part of a panel;
Original contributions in the subject that are scientific, scholarly, artistic, athletic, or business-related;
Authorship of scholarly works in the topic that have been published in professional or large trade periodicals, as well as in other prominent media and more!
How to change your status from a O-1 Visa to a EB-1A Green Card?
The O1 visa offers a road to permanent residency in the United States through the EB-1A green card, which applicants can apply for themselves, through their employers, or through a National Interest Waiver. Because the priority dates are current, the EB-1A green card is highly desired.
The processing period for an EB-1A green card is usually six to eight months, however it can take up to a year if Premium Processing is chosen.
You can submit an I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence once your EB-1A green card (I-140 petition) has been approved (adjustment of status form.)
The I-485 adjustment of status takes around six months to be processed by USCIS, and Premium Processing is not available.

Can I get a Green Card with an O-3 visa?
The type of O visa the principal person possesses determines whether you can obtain permanent residence in the United States with an O-3 visa.
You can all apply for a Green Card if the principal visa holder has an O-1 visa.
The EB-1 Green Card for remarkable talents is available to O-1 visa holders, and if they are granted, so is their family, which includes their spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21.
If the primary visa holder has an O-2 visa, however, you must build ties to your home country and return when your visa expires.
This means that neither the O-2 visa holder nor you, as an O-3 visa dependent, are eligible to apply for a Green Card.
You must convert your status to a visa that enables dual intent, such as the H-1B visa, in order to obtain the Green Card.
Can I study on O-2 work visa?
The answer to that is yes, you can study part-time while maintaining your O status.
Make sure your studies won’t exceed the time you will be in the United States due to your Visa.
What is a O-1A and O-1B Visa?
The O-1A visa is a non-immigrant Visa suitable for successful professionals in the sciences, education, business, athletics, or technology, whereas the O-1B visa is for those working in the arts, motion picture, television, or other forms of entertainment.
