How Mann Law Group helps
The O-1 visa and the EB-1 green card categories are for people whose work has earned sustained national or international recognition. There is no lottery, and some routes do not need an employer sponsor. Mann Law Group reviews your record honestly, tells you which criteria the evidence can meet, and builds the petition around the strongest proof.
Common services and issues
What to keep in mind
- Meeting the minimum number of criteria is only the first step. The officer then decides whether the whole record shows acclaim.
- Independent evidence is stronger than evidence you create. Press coverage, citations, judging, and awards from others carry the most weight.
- A strong O-1 case is not automatically a strong EB-1A case. The green card standard is higher.
- Start collecting letters and records early. Recommenders need time to write letters that are specific.

Common Questions
Yes, if the founder's record meets the criteria. The founder's own company can often be the petitioning employer. Funding, press, awards, and a critical role at recognized organizations can all be relevant evidence.
No. You can petition for yourself. You must still show that you will continue to work in your field in the United States.
It depends on your goals and on how strong the evidence is. Many people start with an O-1 and file an EB-1A when the record is stronger. Some file both.
