Hello:

O (Extraordinary Alien) Visa

An O Visa is for persons who have extraordinary ability in the arts, sports, sciences or business. Because the H-1B's are used up so quickly, this is a good visa for those persons who have been in the business for quite some time or for people who have demonstrated success over the years. There needs to be an employer who will petition them. If approved, it can last up to 3 years and eventually, an application for permanent residency could be submitted.�
