O visas. These are one-year visas for aliens of "exceptional ability" in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics. To be considered a person of extraordinary ability, the worker must have sustained national or international acclaim; or, if the worker is in the motion picture or television industry, he/she must have a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement. O visas can be issued quickly. They allow the worker to travel in and out of the US as long as the visa stamp and status are valid. The worker may remain in the US only as long as the O status remains valid. Visas are available for accompanying relatives.

Limitations on the O visa include the restriction to working only for the employer who acted as the visa sponsor. If the worker changes jobs, he/she must get a new visa. Accompanying relatives may stay in the US with the O visa-holder, but they may not work.
