Citizens of a foreign country who wish to enter the United States can obtain an immigrant visa. People who wish to travel as non-immigrants can apply for visas in different categories, such as tourists (visiting friends and family), receiving medical treatment, or conducting business.
Applicants must show that they qualify under the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The presumption of the law is that every visa applicant is a potential immigrant; At the time of the interview, the applicant must show that they do not intend to reside in the United States.
If you want to travel to the USA, please book an appointment with us so that our team will evaluate your profile and determine if you are ready to begin the visa application.
The O-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the individual who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics, or who has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the film or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements.
Different classifications of O visa:
O-1A: people of extraordinary ability in science, education, business, or athletics (not including the arts, film, or television industry).
O-1B: individuals with extraordinary ability in the arts or extraordinary achievement in the film or television industry.
O-2: individuals who will accompany an O-1, artist or athlete, to assist in a specific event or performance. For an O-1A, O-2 assistance must be an “integral part” of the O-1A’s activity. For an O-1B, O-2 assistance must be “essential” to complete O-1B production. The O-2 worker has critical skills and experience with the O-1 that cannot be easily accomplished by a U.S. worker and that are essential to the successful performance of the O-1.
O-3: individuals who are the spouse or children of O-1 and O-2.

As an abused spouse, child, or parent, you can file an immigrant visa application under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended by the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
This act allows certain spouses, children, and parents of US citizens and certain spouses and children of permanent residents to petition for themselves, without the knowledge of the abuser. This allows victims to seek safety and independence from their abuser, who is not notified of the presentation.
VAWA provisions apply equally to women and men.
If you or someone close to you has been the victim of domestic abuse, contact us for a free consultation. We are here to support you and your loved ones.
