Giving O-1 and P-1  Visa Holders 
Keys to Their  Own Future

 

With few exceptions, a United States work visa provides the visa holder the right to live and work in the United States to do one job with one US-based company.

​​

This means that when a visa-holder wants to work for a new employer, often when an employing company is sold, or many times even accept a promotion within one company, they need a new visa. That means paying new legal fees, new filing fees, and often a premium processing fee, all of which can easily run into many thousands of dollars. The new employer also needs to file the work visa, and in some cases, is obligated to pay for some or all of the fees, removing certain other possible employers from those available to the visa-holder. None of these are considerations for Americans looking to move jobs. ​The resulting artificial financial barrier to freedom of movement can disadvantage visa-holders in the employment marketplace, depressing their wages and/or working conditions.

​​​

We provide another, better option.

​

In some circumstances and for certain visas, you can have one company sponsor you, and be employed by another. If the company sponsoring your visa remains the same, you can change the company employing you without needing to file again. Visas can also be filed for foreign employers through an approved US agent, a service that we offer. To be clear, this is not a blanket solution, It does not work for every person, every visa, or every job. Read on to see if it might apply to you, and how to move forward.
