How to Qualify for the O-1A: A Practical Guide to Achievable Evidence

Описание: ​Wondering if your achievements are strong enough for the O-1A?
In this webinar, we’ll break down the criteria in plain English and show how applicants, including recent graduates, early-career professionals, founders, and operators, build compelling evidence through realistic, achievable steps.

​Many people are surprised to learn that activities like judging a hackathon, publishing in an industry magazine, earning a selective membership, or taking on a critical role at a growing company can all count toward meeting the O-1A’s “3 out of 8” criteria. With focused effort, 1–2 years is enough for most applicants to build a strong, persuasive narrative.

​We’ll also share insights from Concord’s experience supporting thousands of successful visa cases, along with current O-1A trends, including last year’s ~93% approval rate out of ~10,000+ petitions.
