    How to meet the O-1A extraordinary ability requirements

    With the virtual disappearance of the H-1B visa due to Donald Trump's new exorbitant $100,000 filing fee charge, the O-1 extraordinary ability classification has become increasingly important for professional level individuals seeking to develop their careers in the US. For those who qualify, O-1 has several advantages compared to H-1B and most other work visas.

    First, unlike H-1B, O-1 is not subject to an annual quota limit. No one has to wait to be picked in a lottery to apply for O-1. Second, also unlike H-1B and L-1, there is no limit on the number of years that one can continue to work in O-1 status without having to pack up and return to one's country of origin

    Third, like H-1B and L-1, but unlike several other types of work visas, O-1 is a "dual intent" classification, meaning that one does not have to show intent to return to one's home country after finishing one's O-1 work program. There is no restriction on applying for a green card while in O-1 status.

    But here comes the difficult part of O-1: USCIS, through its regulations, has made O-1 status so hard to attain, that only comparatively few people can qualify. This is especially true of the O-1A program for people with extraordinary ability in science, business, technology and athletics.

    Even though the O-1 statute nowhere requires this, the USCIS regulations provide that to qualify for O-1A, the candidate must be one of the small percentage who has risen to the very top of the field. There is no such requirement for O-1B extraordinary ability in the arts or in motion pictures.

    In contrast, the Congressionally enacted O-1 statute defines O-1 in general as requiring "sustained national or international acclaim".

    See 8 USC Section 1101, subsection O.

    The statute says nothing about requiring that the candidate be "one of the small percentage who has risen to the very top of the field.".


    So how is an O-1A applicant supposed to show that he or she is one of the very few who has reached the top of his or her field? Since I am confident that no one reading this article has won a Nobel Prize (one of the stated ways of showing this!), an O-1A applicant must meet any three of eight other listed criteria. These are as follows:

    1. Receipt of "nationally or internationally recognized" prizes or awards in his or her field.

    2. Membership in a professional organization that requires "outstanding achievement" as a condition for membership.

    3. Published material about the candidate and his work in "major publications".

    4. The candidate has participated as a judge of the work of others in his or her field.

    5. The candidate has made "original" contributions of "major significance" in his or her field.

    6. The candidate has authored scholarly articles in the field in professional journals or other "major" media.

    7. The candidate has been employed in a "critical or essential" capacity for organizations and establishments that have a "distinguished" reputation.

    8. The candidate has received or will receive a "high" salary.

    The one thing that stands out among all these requirements is that they use vague terms such as "leading", "essential", "major" and "distinguished", which can mean many different things depending on the opinion of the adjudicator.

    To try to provide some clarity to the meaning of these and other similarly vague terms in the O-1A regulations, USCIS provides certain explanations and examples of ways to meet the above requirements in its Policy Manual. However, these examples are merely illustrative and do not cover all of the possible O-1A situations. I will discuss some of these explanations and examples in a future article on this topic.

    $100,000 H-1B fee is immigration white supremacy in action.

    A lot has been written about the harm that will be done to the US economy in general and to the tech industry in particular by Trump's new $100,000 H-1B filing fee. Two lawsuits against this huge increase have been filed by various groups claiming, with great justification, that this increase was illegal and way beyond the powers of Trump and his administration.

    And if Trump can get away with effectively ending the H-1B program by imposing this huge new fee, what is there to stop him from imposing similar fees on all other immigration filings - such as F-1 student visas, green cards through marriage to a US citizen and all other immigration applications? If Trump is allowed to get away with this exorbitant charge for H-1B filings - based on a tissue of lies about alleged but unproven H-1B employer abuses, what is there to stop him from ending all other legal immigration programs as well by imposing similar sky-high filing fees?

    There are two main issues raised by imposing this huge, sudden filing fee increase. The first is that the filing fee increase is obviously part of Trump's racist, white supremacist immigration agenda in general. Most estimates are that 70% of current H-1B visas are held by one Asian country - India, with 11% going to China.

    But this obvious anti-Asian racism is not the only danger to America's humanistic values as a nation where everyone is equal under the law, regardless of race, religion or ancestry. By unilaterally raising the USCIS filing fee, Trump is in direct violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires a period for public notice and comment before changing any regulations affecting immigration.

    From that perspective, Trump's unilaterally ending future H-1B filings by lawlessly imposing this huge new fee is one more test of his ability to impose dictatorial power instead of following the rule of law.

    Most comments on the new filing fee are focused on the details of who is subject to it and who is exempt. While these details are of course important, they should not be allowed to obscure the larger picture of racism and dictatorship that this fee represents. I will follow the progress of the two lawsuits that have been filed against this exorbitant filing fee and write further comments based on the results of the litigation.

    O-1 visa for Sushi Chefs

    These days, I am getting inquiries from people who are interested in applying for an O-1 extraordinary ability visa as a sushi chef or other specialty Japanese food chef. I tell them that this visa is possible, provided that the applicant meets strict requirements.

    First, one has to choose between O-1A, which requires various types of technical skills, or O-1B, commonly known as the "artist visa", and is a little less strict in its requirements. Fortunately, it is well settled that specialty chefs are accepted as practicing an art form for visa purposes, and that they may apply for an O-1B visa.

    So what are the main requirements for a sushi chef to qualify for O-1B visa approval? They are as follows:

    1) The O-1 candidate must have a history of working in a leading or essential role for one or more restaurants that have a distinguished reputation, and must show that he or she will be working in such a role for a distinguished
    restaurant or similar organization in O-1B status.

    2) There must be published articles in leading or professional media about the O-1B candidate and his or her work,

    3) The O-1B candidate must have recommendation letters from other experts in the field.

    4) As an alternative to any one of the above three requirements, the O-1B candidate can show that he or she has been earning an above average salary compared to other sushi chefs.

    There are three other alternate requirements which are less often used to qualify for O-1B; namely a) having won a national or international prize, b) being a member of an organization requiring outstanding achievement for membership, and c) having one's work shown at distinguished venues or events. These three alternatives will not be discussed in this article.

    With regard to the first of the above listed requirements, it is critically important to show the distinguished reputation of the restaurant or similar establishments where the O-1B candidate has been working as head chef. No matter how extraordinary his or her own cooking may be and have been, unless both his or her previous employers and future O-1B employer are very well known, or have achieved distinguished recognition (such as by Michelin), O-1B approval may be difficult to attain.

    The same is true concerning media articles about the O-1B candidate. No matter how big the circulation may be of a publication with an article about the sushi chef and his or her work, the article may be rejected by the USCIS examiner if the publication has only local circulation.

    In the same way, experts submitting recommendation letters must provide evidence of their own reputations in the field, as well as discussing the O-1B candidate and his or her accomplishments in detail.

    As long as one can meet the above standards, which are applied with increasing strictness by the USCIS office, O-1B approval for sushi and other specialty Japanese food chefs should be possible. Please feel free to contact the undersigned for further information.
