O-1 Visa

Must-Know Facts

  • There is no no true “transfer.”  Changing O-1 employers or agents requires a new or amended Form I-129 petition filed with USCIS.

  • An agent petitioner allows work with multiple employers under one petition, but switching to a new agent requires a fresh filing.

  • O-1 status can be extended in one-year increments with proof of ongoing work.
