We regularly work with “extraordinary” individuals. And we don’t just mean “extraordinary” in the normal sense of the word—rare, phenomenal, and special—but also the type of “extraordinary” that fits US Citizenship & Immigration Service’s (USCIS) legal standard. That’s right, we’re talking about the O-1 nonimmigrant visa classification for individuals with “extraordinary” ability or achievement and the EB-1-1 immigrant visa classification for individuals who demonstrate “extraordinary” ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics through sustained national or international acclaim.
