Your spouse and children under 21 may be eligible for O-3 dependant visas. O-3 dependants can usually live and study in the U.S. but generally do not receive work authorization. We can coordinate dependant documents as part of consular-stage support.

The O-1 is a nonimmigrant visa and does not automatically lead to a Green Card. Many O-1 holders later explore EB-1A or EB-2 NIW depending on their profile. A Green Card strategy is assessed separately.
