HOW IT WORKS

Hire and retain foreign national employees on O-1

THE PROCESS

Hiring someone on O-1

A U.S. employer can apply for an O-1 visa by providing the required evidence. The petition must also include a written advisory opinion from a peer group or an expert in the field of work of the beneficiary (employee). 

3 years

Initial term

USCIS issues a three year working term when it first issues the O-1. 

+ 1 year

Extension

Unlimited one year extensions are allowed. 

 more years

Further extension

Employees don't have to apply for green card to extend their stay.

Start the Green Card process

It's generally best-practice to start the green card process for the foreign national employee within the first 2 years of employment. 

Meet your immigration automation platform

Attorney case management tools don’t provide transparency to you or to your employees. Without an automated workflow, you are constantly dealing with a repetitive and inefficient workload to stay compliant. WayLit is the best of both worlds - an immigration automation platform built specifically around your needs.
