USCIS announced that starting in January 2025, individuals can sponsor their own O-1 visa through a company they own. This policy change allows individuals to be both the beneficiary and the petitioner’s owner, expanding opportunities for self-sponsorship in the O-1 visa category.
Key Details:
- Effective date: January 2025
- Visa type: O-1 visa for individuals with extraordinary ability
- Allows self-sponsorship through owned companies
- Beneficiaries can now take more control over their immigration status
This change is expected to significantly impact individuals seeking to work in the U.S. under the O-1 visa category, providing them with greater flexibility and autonomy in their immigration process. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
