The O-1A is a US temporary work visa for people at the top of sciences, education, business, or athletics. Most cases must show at least three of eight criteria — then USCIS still looks at the whole record.

This short questionnaire ranks O-1A against other talent and work routes from your answers. It does not score uploaded evidence and does not estimate approval odds.
We ask about field, career stage, recognition, and whether a US employer or agent can petition — then compare O-1A with nearby options such as EB-1A.
Educational only — not a filing recommendation, not legal advice, and not an approval prediction.
Questions below start from this visa’s destination and goal. You can change any answer.
