0-1B Visa

O-1B Visa Case Management for Immigration Law Firms

Arts and motion picture or television O-1B visa cases follow different standards. US Immigration AI keeps both organized in one system, from the consultation letter through filing.

One Case Record, Whichever Standard Applies

An O-1B case starts with a fork: arts, or motion picture and television, each with its own evidentiary bar and consultation requirement. US Immigration AI keeps the case attached to whichever track applies, not left to a note in someone's inbox.

No more re-determining which standard applies each time a new case comes in.
Consultation letter status, one letter or two, stays on the case record instead of scattered across email threads.
Every case reaches your attorney already sorted by standard, not still being triaged.
Extension filings pick up from the existing case record instead of starting over.
See how AI keeps O-1B evidence in order under the arts or motion picture standard your attorney selects.

What's Included

What the Platform Handles for O-1B Cases

O-1B cases carry a consultation requirement more complex than O-1A's: arts cases need one letter, motion picture and television cases need two. The platform is built around that reality.
  • Consultation Letter Tracking
  • Extension & Continued Eligibility Tracking
  • Document Collection Portal
  • Petition Drafting Support
  • EB-1A Case History Continuity
  • Attorney Review Workflow
Why It Works

Why US Immigration AI?

Plenty of case management tools handle documents. Fewer are built around the specific evidentiary and consultation problems O-1B cases create.

Immigration Case Types Are the Starting Point, Not an Add-On

The platform tracks what actually matters on an O-1B case, like which standard applies and how many consultation letters it needs. It doesn't bend generic case fields to fit immigration work.

Intake, Drafting, and Filing Run on the Same Record

Evidence and consultation status collected at intake carry through to the final petition. They stay available for the next extension filing too, without re-entry.

Built Around the Final Merits Standard

Generic case tools don't distinguish the arts standard from the motion picture and television standard. The platform's evidence organization is built around that determination from day one, not worked out case by case.

The Difference

Managing O-1B Cases Without US Immigration AI

Most firms already know what assembling extraordinary ability evidence from scratch looks like. Here's what changes when that work runs on one platform instead of a spreadsheet and an inbox.
  • Standard and evidence strategy re-determined from scratch for each case

  • Consultation letter status, single or dual, tracked through email follow-ups

  • Re-checking petition details before filing, case by case

  • No single view of the evidence and consultation portfolio

Without US Immigration AI

With US Immigration AI

  • Applicable standard and evidence stay attached to the case record

  • Consultation status stays visible on the case record

  • Intake details carry over into the draft petition

  • Every O-1B case's status is visible in one dashboard

How It Works

How an O-1B Case Moves Through the Platform

An O-1B case has a specific path, from determining the applicable standard through ongoing renewal. Here's how it runs on the platform.
  • Determine the Standard and Build the Case
  • Secure the Required Consultation(s)
  • Collect Supporting Documents
  • Draft the Petition
  • Route for Attorney Review
  • File & Track Ongoing Eligibility

Stop Redoing the Standard Determination for Every Client

See your firm's criteria evidence, final merits narrative, and consultation letter status organized in one case record instead of a shared drive.

Why It Works

Why US Immigration AI?

O-1A and EB-1A both use an extraordinary ability standard. Many self-petitioners move from one to the other once their U.S. track record strengthens. The two aren't identical: EB-1A is an immigrant petition with its own criteria and no consultation letter

Criteria evidence sorted by category during the O-1A case stays available rather than scattered across old files.
The underlying evidence categories overlap closely enough that a well-organized O-1A case is a real head start for EB-1A.
Nothing about the case's O-1A history has to be rebuilt from scratch when a client is ready to explore EB-1A.
A licensed attorney evaluates EB-1A eligibility on its own merits. The platform keeps the underlying case history connected; it does not determine or file that petition
Before You File

The Fork Every O-1B Case Starts With

Which standard applies changes what the evidence needs to show. It also changes how many consultation letters the case needs. Getting the track right at intake shapes the whole case.

Requirements

Arts

Motion Picture & Television

Standard

Distinction

Extraordinary achievement

Threshold

High level of achievement, substantially above the ordinary

A notably higher bar, requiring outstanding or leading industry recognition

Consultation required

One, from a relevant peer group or labor organization

Two: one from a labor union, one from a management organization

O-1B doesn't use the two-step "final merits" review that applies to O-1A. Meeting the criteria under the applicable standard is the evaluation itself, not a separate step layered on top.
Most questions firms ask below come back to this fork: which standard applies, and how many consultation letters it requires.
