Cases & Reviews
Real results, confirmed proof
“My O-1A petition was approved without any additional requests. We filed through an agent, which made the process much easier. I received the visa stamp at the consulate in 2 weeks and entered the U.S. in March 2026.”
Dmitry Orlov - Senior Backend Engineer, St. Petersburg → New York
“I switched to O-1B, published a book in English, and was accepted into the Writers' Guild of Canada. The petition was approved on the first try, and I moved to Miami.”
Andrey Volkov — Founder, Russia → Miami
“A 412-page petition was approved on the first try without a single USCIS request for additional evidence. With premium processing, the decision came in 15 days.”
Mikhail Kuznetsov — Google Developer Expert, Moscow → San Francisco
“Professional, reliable, and knows every step of the process. Sergey built the evidence package so thoroughly that the USCIS officer found no grounds for refusal.”
Confidential Client - Software Architect
No, an employer is not required. O-1 can be filed through an agent, which allows you to work with multiple clients or projects in the United States at the same time. This works for freelancers, startup founders, artists, athletes, and consultants. If you do have an employer, the filing is made on the employer's behalf.
O-1 is a nonimmigrant work visa (up to 3 years, with extensions). EB-1A is a direct path to a green card. O-1 has a lower evidentiary threshold (3 of 8 criteria versus the higher EB-1A standard), faster processing, and no quota backlog. Many clients first obtain O-1 and then pursue EB-1A while already in the United States.
If the criteria are already covered, preparation and filing take about 1 month. If the evidence package needs to be developed (PR package + turnkey case), the timeline is about 2 months. After filing, USCIS usually reviews the case in 2–4 months, or in 15 days with Premium Processing.
Yes. Filing through an agent is one of the key options for O-1. The agent represents you before USCIS and allows you to work with multiple U.S. clients at the same time. I can help select a suitable agent or work with your current employer.
All publications placed as part of your case remain on their platforms indefinitely. If a publication is removed due to the publisher's fault, I replace it with a similar publication at no extra charge.
Yes. All foreign-language documents must be translated into English and accompanied by a certified translator statement. Translation is included in the package and handled in compliance with USCIS requirements.
