@david_f1_phd Yes! O1A is for sciences, education, business, and athletics. O1B is specifically for arts and entertainment. The criteria are slightly different: - O1A has 8 criteria (need 3) - O1B has 6 criteria (need 3) O1A doesn't require an advisory opinion, which makes it a bit simpler. Many tech workers use O1A when they have strong profiles but don't want to deal with H1B lottery. The bar is high but not impossible if you have awards, publications, high salary, or other evidence of extraordinary ability.
