The O-1 visa is for individuals with marked distinction in the sciences, education, business or athletics. The applicant must be one of a small percentage who have arisen to the very top of their field of endeavor. In general, the applicant must demonstrate sustained national or international “RECOGNITION” for achievements or expertise through extensive documentation.

O-1 visa extensions can be obtained if the person of extraordinary ability is needed in the United States beyond three years. An important reason to consider an O-1 visa when possible is that essential assistants of this individual with extraordinary abilities may qualify for their own specialized visas, which allow them entry into America for work as well. For example, a scientist might be able to obtain an O2 Visa for essential lab assistant or actor who needs one on staff could get help from someone with expertise in publicity and marketing.

MMA is taking the U.S. by storm. In most cities and towns there are gyms offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, karate, boxing and other mixed martial arts. The sport of MMA is growing and evolving and not just with internationally known male fighters. Female MMA fighters are also trending in MMA.
The key to a U.S. work visa for female MMA fighters is to earn enough recognition outside of the fighter’s home country so that the fighter is known internationally for her MMA achievements. Female MMA Fighters have options for a P-1 or O-1 visa with a U.S. Sponsor.
P-1 Visas are valid for up to 3 years depending on contract and the spouse of the female fighter may obtain derivative Status. Essential Support Trainers of a fighter may also obtain a P-1S visa
