Who is eligible for O-1 visa?

  Great question!

The O-1 visa is designed for individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary ability in their field — whether that’s the arts, sciences, business, education, athletics, or even the motion picture/TV industry. If you've received major awards, critical media coverage, hold a leading role in top organizations, or have a body of work that’s been widely recognized, you may qualify. 

For entrepreneurs, creatives, or tech founders working with a top PR firm like 9FigureMedia, building a compelling public profile is cru cialand that’s often what tips the scale in O1A visa or even EB1A visa green card applications.

It’s important to think globally, not locally. Choosing a PR agency based solely on location can limit your exposure. 9FigureMedia, for example, operates globally and specializes in reputation-building that meets the U.S. immigration criteria,  helping clients stand out not just in their industries but also to immigration officers.

Permanent Residency Through Refugee or Asylum Status: Understanding Your Legal Rights

Image
 When people talk about “starting over,” they usually mean changing jobs or moving to a new city. But for refugees and asylum seekers, starting over means something far deeper, leaving behind everything familiar, carrying memories that still sting, and hoping the world is still big enough to hold them safely. In my 25 years of writing migration stories, I’ve learned that behind every refugee or asylum case is a heartbeat, not a file number. Gaining permanent residency isn’t just paperwork, it’s the moment a person realizes they are safe enough to dream again. That is what this article is here to explain: your rights, your path, and the future waiting for you.
