O-1A Visa State change

A U.S. employer must file Form I-129 on your behalf, describing your role, duties, and working conditions.

You must demonstrate extraordinary ability in science, education, business, or athletics, meeting at least 3 of the 10 USCIS criteria or showing evidence of a major internationally recognized award.

Frequent questions

Clear answers to our customers' most frequently asked questions

What is the difference between applying for an O-1A visa through consular processing and changing status?

Consular processing applies when the applicant is outside the U.S. and must attend an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Change of status is filed from within the U.S. when the applicant already holds a valid visa and wishes to change to O-1A status without leaving the country.

You must be legally present in the U.S., have a U.S. employer or agent filing Form I-129, demonstrate extraordinary ability in your field (meeting at least 3 of the 10 USCIS criteria), and include an employment contract plus a written advisory opinion from experts or professional associations.

You can apply while you are in the U.S. with valid status (e.g., F-1, J-1, B-1/B-2) and once you have a job offer or approved project to support your request. It is best to apply at least 45 days before your current status expires.

No. In most cases, USCIS does not require an in-person interview for O-1A Change of Status applications. However, they may issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) if additional documentation or clarification is needed.
