## Routes and timelines

### EB-1 extraordinary ability

For people with sustained recognition at the top of a field.

A direct green-card petition built from recognized achievements and independent evidence. The strongest case shows sustained standing, major contributions and continued work in the same field.

- Outcome: Green card
- Job offer: Not required for extraordinary ability
- Planning range: 6 to 12 months
- Relovisa fee: From EUR 19,900

### O-1 extraordinary ability

For recognized professionals who need a temporary US work route.

A petition for a specific US work plan, carried by a qualifying US employer or agent. It uses achievement evidence similar to EB-1 but serves temporary status rather than a direct green card.

- Outcome: Temporary work status
- Petitioner: US employer or agent
- Planning range: About 6 months
- Relovisa fee: From EUR 14,900
- Core evidence: Ability plus US work plan

### EB-2 National Interest Waiver

For advanced specialists or people of exceptional ability whose proposed work serves a wider US interest.

A direct green-card route that can waive the usual employer sponsorship and labour-certification step. The petition connects qualification, the proposed US work and the applicant's ability to advance it.

- Outcome: Green card
- Job offer: Not required for NIW
- Planning range: 6 to 12 months
- Relovisa fee: From EUR 19,900
- Core evidence: Qualification, impact and plan

A temporary investor route with no fixed statutory minimum. The amount must be substantial for the business, committed and at risk, with a credible operating and hiring plan.

- Outcome: Temporary investor status
- Nationality: Treaty country required
- Planning range: 2 to 3 months
- Investment: No fixed minimum; USD 100,000+ often modelled
- Core evidence: Funds, business and control

### L-1 intracompany transfer

For eligible executives, managers and specialists moving inside an international company group.

A temporary work route built on the relationship between a foreign business and a related US entity, plus the employee's qualifying overseas employment and proposed US role.

- Outcome: Temporary work status
- Company: Qualifying foreign and US entities
- Planning range: 2 to 6 months
- Applicant: Executive, manager or specialist
- Core evidence: Company link and prior employment

## Steps and timing

We choose the route from evidence, then build the petition around it.

You see the route gate, missing proof, owners and timetable before the full petition work begins.

### 1. Read the real profile

We review achievements, work history, US plans, business facts, nationality and family goals across all five routes.

### 2. Choose the petition

US counsel confirms the category and the exact filing structure, including petitioner, dependants and any later green-card step.

### 3. Build the evidence

We organize records, references, company documents, business materials and independent proof. Media support is used only where it strengthens a real criterion.

### 4. Draft and file

The petition connects the legal route, facts and exhibits in one readable case, then goes through final checks before submission.

### 5. Manage the decision stage

We track notices, prepare any evidence response and coordinate the consular or status step and the family applications.

## FAQ

### What types of US visas and green-card routes do you handle?

This page covers EB-1 extraordinary ability, O-1 extraordinary ability, EB-2 National Interest Waiver, E-2 treaty investor and L-1 intracompany transfer cases.

### What counts as extraordinary achievement?

There is no single universal document. Awards, press, judging, original contributions, leading roles, high compensation, exhibitions, publications and commercial results can help when they are independently verifiable and significant in the field.

### How long does a US case take?

Planning ranges are about 6 to 12 months to petition approval for EB-1 and EB-2 NIW; the green card itself then depends on the Visa Bulletin for your country of birth, and for some countries, such as India and China, that wait can run for years. Allow about 6 months for O-1, 2 to 3 months for E-2 and 2 to 6 months for L-1. Government processing, consular availability and evidence requests can change them.

### Can my family come with me?

A spouse and unmarried children under 21 can usually apply in the matching dependent category. Work rights, status length and later green-card options vary by the main route, so we plan them separately.

### What happens if the petition is denied?

The authority can deny any case. Before filing, we name the weakest required proof and the realistic alternative. After a denial or evidence request, US counsel reviews the stated reason and advises whether response, refiling, appeal or another route is credible.

### Do I need a US employer?

It depends. O-1 needs a qualifying US employer or agent, and L-1 needs a related US company. EB-1 extraordinary ability and EB-2 NIW can be self-petitioned. E-2 is carried by the applicant's qualifying US business.

### Which routes lead directly to a green card?

EB-1 extraordinary ability and EB-2 National Interest Waiver are direct permanent-residence routes. O-1, E-2 and L-1 are temporary statuses and need a separate green-card strategy if permanent residence is the goal. After petition approval, green-card issuance depends on the Visa Bulletin for your country of birth.

### Do I need a university degree?

Not for every route. EB-2 has an advanced-degree or exceptional-ability gate. EB-1 and O-1 focus on recognized ability. E-2 focuses on treaty nationality, investment and the business. L-1 focuses on the company relationship, prior employment and US role.

### How do I know whether I qualify?

The first review compares your profile against all five routes. We map evidence you already have, missing required proof, the US plan and the route that can be filed credibly now.

### How much does the work cost?

O-1 service starts from EUR 14,900, and EB-1 or EB-2 NIW from EUR 19,900. E-2 and L-1 are quoted after the company and filing scope is reviewed. Government and third-party costs are separate.
