The full guide
O-1 requires a US employer or agent to file the petition — there's no self-petition path — plus evidence meeting at least 3 of 8 specific USCIS regulatory criteria, or a single major one-time achievement (Nobel Prize, Olympic medal, Emmy, or similar). This is genuinely attorney-territory: which criteria you can actually document, and how compelling your specific evidence is, needs individualized legal assessment, not a profile-based guess.
Processing: Can be filed up to 1 year before start date; should reach USCIS at least 45 days before employment begins
