Why Agent-Based O-1 Beats Employer-Sponsored
The Agent-Based Advantage
Traditional O-1 petitions filed by a single employer create the same restrictions as H-1B: you're tied to that one company, can't switch jobs without refiling, and cannot start your own business. Agent-based O-1 petitions eliminate these restrictions entirely.
Comparison Table:
EMPLOYER-SPONSORED O-1
✗ Tied to one employer
✗ New petition required to switch jobs
✗ No business ownership allowed
✗ No consulting/freelancing
✗ Employer controls visa
✗ Limited work itinerary
✗ Job changes require months of processing
✗ Entrepreneurship impossible
IGTA AGENT-BASED O-1
✓ Work for unlimited employers
✓ Switch freely without refiling
✓ Start and own businesses
✓ Full consulting and freelance rights
✓ You control your career
✓ Flexible itinerary accommodates new opportunities
✓ Accept new positions immediately
✓ Launch startups while on visa
Real-World Scenarios:
Scenario 1: You Get Multiple Job Offers
Employer-Sponsored: You must choose one company and hope they'll sponsor you. If that job doesn't work out, you need to find another willing sponsor and file a new petition.
Agent-Based with IGTA: Accept offers from all companies and work for whichever combination makes sense. Consulting for Company A three days a week while contracting with Company B two days a week? No problem.
Scenario 2: You Want to Start a Company
Employer-Sponsored: Impossible. You cannot be founder or own equity in a US company while on employer-sponsored O-1.
Agent-Based with IGTA: Launch your startup, serve as CEO, and work on building your company—all legal under your O-1 status.
Scenario 3: Consulting Opportunity Arises
Employer-Sponsored: You cannot take consulting work outside your sponsoring employer without jeopardizing your visa status.
Agent-Based with IGTA: Accept all consulting opportunities that interest you. They're covered under your work itinerary.
Legal Basis:
Agent-based O-1 petitions are explicitly permitted under 8 CFR 214.2(o)(2)(iv)(E). USCIS has approved agent-based petitions for decades, particularly in entertainment, sports, and increasingly in technology and business fields.
Our 94% approval rate demonstrates that agent-based petitions are well-established and accepted by USCIS when properly prepared.

If Your Case Receives an RFE or Denial
RFE Response (Included)

What We Do:
✓ Analyze RFE to understand exactly what USCIS needs

✓ Submit within required timeframe
✓ One RFE response included in all O-1 packages
Common RFE Reasons:

O-1 Filing Questions Answered
-
If you currently meet 2 criteria, you're close but not quite ready for immediate filing. We recommend building additional evidence through one of our partner programs:
Innovative Automations: Systematically builds O-1 evidence for tech professionals through publications, media coverage, Fortune 500 projects, and award nominations over 6-8 months.
Pentos Partners: Premium evidence building with white-glove service, Wikipedia pages, and executive networking.
After strengthening your evidence to 3-4 criteria, return to IGTA for filing.
-
Yes, absolutely. O-1 offers significant advantages over H-1B:
H-1B Restrictions:
Tied to one employer
New petition needed to switch jobs
No business ownership
$100,000 minimum salary requirement
6-year maximum stay
O-1 Benefits:
Work for unlimited employers with agent-based structure
Switch companies freely without refiling
Start your own business allowed
No minimum salary requirement
Unlimited 3-year renewals
Many of our clients transition from H-1B to O-1 specifically to gain career flexibility.
-
Your initial O-1 visa is valid for 3 years. It can be renewed in 3-year increments unlimited times, as long as you continue working in your field of extraordinary ability.
There is no maximum length of stay on O-1, unlike H-1B which has a 6-year limit.
-
Yes. O-1 is an excellent pathway to EB-1A Green Card. The evidence you used for your O-1 petition often directly qualifies you for EB-1A permanent residency.
EB-1A has the same "extraordinary ability" standard as O-1. If you proved it once for O-1, you can prove it again for Green Card.
O-1 also allows "dual intent," meaning you can pursue Green Card while on O-1 status without jeopardizing your visa.
-
Your spouse and children under 21 can apply for O-3 dependent visas.
O-3 Benefits:
Same validity period as your O-1
Can attend school in the US
Can travel in and out of US freely
O-3 Limitations:
Cannot work in the US (spouse needs separate work visa for employment)
Tied to your O-1 status
Cost: $1,000 per family member through IGTA.
Alternative for working spouses: Apply for their own work visa (H-1B, O-1, etc.) or F-1 student visa with OPT work authorization.
-
No. Unlike H-1B which requires a specific employer, O-1 with agent-based structure requires an itinerary of work—not a single job offer.
Your work itinerary can include:
Multiple employer engagements
Consulting projects
Freelance work
Your own business activities
Speaking engagements
Advisory roles
IGTA as your agent-petitioner creates this itinerary, demonstrating to USCIS what work you'll be doing in the US. You don't need one specific employer committed before filing.
-
Yes, with agent-based O-1 structure. You can be the founder and CEO of a US company while on O-1 status.
The key is that IGTA remains your agent-petitioner managing your overall career, while your company is part of your work itinerary.
This is impossible with employer-sponsored O-1 or H-1B, which prohibit business ownership.
-
You can work remotely with O-1, as long as you're physically located in the United States.
Allowed:
Working remotely for US companies from your home in US
Working remotely for international companies while physically in US
Mix of remote and in-office work
Not Allowed:
Working remotely from outside the US for extended periods (violates visa status)
Your O-1 requires you to be physically present in the US. Short international business trips are fine, but your primary location must be US.
-
Payment plan option costs $12,000 total (vs $10,000 upfront).
Structure:
Minimum $2,000 per month
Must be paid in full before we file with USCIS
Example: 6 monthly payments of $2,000, then we submit your petition
Once payment is complete, we file your petition with USCIS and your case enters government processing.
Best for: Professionals who need budget flexibility but want to secure their O-1 filing.
