O-1 Visa
O-1 visa is available to aliens of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics which has been demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim. O-1 visa holders are not required to maintain foreign residence abroad. They are allowed to have double intent, meaning they are permitted to apply for lawful permanent residency (green card) while in O-1 status.

EB-1 Petitions for Aliens of Extraordinary Ability, Professors and Researchers (Priority Workers Petitions)
The EB-1 is an immigrant visa (green card) available for aliens of extraordinary ability in science, art, business, athletics, education, teaching and research who achieved national or international acclaim in their field. A qualified alien does not need a US employer to sponsor him for this type of green card, therefore, no labor certification is required. Additionally, an alien applying for EB-1 green card should prove that he intends to work in the field of his extraordinary ability and that he had an ability to make a significant contribution to benefit the US.
