How do aliens apply for O-1 visas?
Once an O Petition has been approved, the alien beneficiary may
apply for an O-1 Visa at a U.S. consulate in the alien's home country,
or certain third countries.
For more on Third Country Visa Processing, please click here.
The documents and information needed when the alien is applying
for an O-1 visa are:
- Form DS-156 (non-immigrant visa application);
- Passport of the applicant;
- A recent photograph meeting these
requirements;
- Visa application fee ($100.00)
- Approval Notice (Form I-797) of the O Petition; and
A full copy of the O Petition including all supporting documentation
In some circumstances, an alien may be able to apply for change
to O-1 status without needing the U.S., but this is often not
permitted.
