Persons with Extraordinary Ability (O-1A and O-1B Visas)

Platform Legal has a strong focus in Extraordinary Ability O-1 visas. If you have a United States employer, manager, or agent, and you are acclaimed in the motion picture and television industry, in the arts, in business, in the sciences, in athletics, or in education, we help you obtain a visa to pursue your talents in the United States. We help your key support personnel obtain an O-2 visa so they may continue to work alongside you, and we help your immediate relatives obtain O-3 visas so that they can join you.

The O-1A and O-1B are suitable for a diverse range of professions and oftentimes can provide a creative solution to the limitations of other non-immigrant visa categories. Adjudication times are generally just several months, and the government provides an option for expedited service that results in action on your case within 15 calendar days.

Those who qualify for an O-1A or O-1B visa sometimes meet the higher legal standard for the EB-1A Extraordinary Ability Green Card. If you qualify we can work with you to obtain permanent residency in the United States.

Australian Professionals (E-3 Visa)

If you are an Australian professional coming to the United States to work in your specialty occupation we help you obtain your visa. If you have a spouse we help them obtain work authorization, and we help your children obtain visas so that they can join you.

If you want to start a business, buy a business, or conduct international trade in the United States, and you are a citizen of a country with which the United States has a specific treaty, we help you and your key employees obtain a visa to undertake your venture. If you have a spouse we help them obtain work authorization, and help your children obtain visas so that they can join you.
