O-1 Extraordinary Ability Workers

0-1 Extraordinary Ability Workers

This classification is for foreign nationals with extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, as demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim.  These persons have risen to the very top in their field, and there must be extensive documentation recognizing their achievements. They must continue to work in their area of extraordinary ability in the U.S., but their work in the U.S. does not have to be at a level requiring extraordinary ability.
