extraordinary ability in science, art, business, athletics, education, teaching
and research who achieved national or international acclaim in their field. A
qualified alien does not need a US employer to sponsor him for this type of

O- 1 visa is issued for a maximum of 3 years, but there is absolutely no
overall time limit on extensions (unlike H-1B visas where overall time limit
is 6 years).
