Si se encuentra
en los EE. UU. y decide cambiar el estado de su visa actual a una visa O, debe presentar los formularios adecuados,toda la evidencia para respaldar el cumplimiento de los requisitos y la solicitud junto con los honorarios. En uno de los formularios, hay una sección donde puede seleccionar cómo va a presentar la petición. Si se encuentra en los EE. UU. y planea permanecer en los EE. UU. hasta que se decida el caso, puede hacerlo seleccionando la casilla correspondiente. Una vez que se presenta la petición, debe esperar en los EE. UU. hasta el momento de la decisión. Si en algún momento, mientras su petición está pendiente, decide abandonar los EE. UU., su petición se retirará automáticamente y tendrá que volver a presentar la solicitud mientras esté en el extranjero, esencialmente comenzando de nuevo con todo el proceso.
De ser aprobado su caso, recibirá un aviso de aprobación y podrá utilizar dicho aviso para solicitar un número de seguro social. El aviso de aprobación es su prueba de autorización de trabajo para fines de su visa O. No está obligado a salir de los EE.UU. Si planea salir de los EE. UU. porque necesita viajar, tendrá que presentar un formulario en línea (DS-160) para programar una entrevista consular para que, de esta manera, le emitan una visa en su país junto con su pasaporte para viajar para que pueda regresar a los Estados Unidos. Este es un proceso aparte de la solicitud de la visa O en los EE. UU.
Si se encuentra en el
extranjero y desea solicitar la visa O, debe presentar una petición con todos los formularios adecuados, la evidencia para respaldar el cumplimiento de los requisitos y los honorarios. Si se aprueba el caso, podrá presentar un formulario en línea llamado DS-160 y programar una entrevista consular para que se emita la visa en su pasaporte. Una vez que se emita la visa, podrá viajar a los EE. UU. Según el país del que provenga el beneficiario, es posible que se emitan algunas visas de viaje por períodos más cortos. Aunque la notificación de aprobación de su visa O puede ser válida por tres años, la visa real puede ser emitida por menos tiempo. Si necesita viajar durante el período de la visa O, es posible que deba programar más de una entrevista para que se emita una visa en su pasaporte.

If you've made it to the United States as a culinary professional—perhaps on an O-1B visa that recognizes your extraordinary talent, or a P-3 visa for sharing your rich culinary heritage—congratulations! You’ve already proven yourself as a standout in your craft. But what if we told you that your journey doesn’t have to end when your temporary visa does? In fact, your current status could be the perfect stepping stone to something much more lasting: a green card through the EB-1A category. The EB-1A visa is a first-preference employment-based immigrant visa, designed for individuals with “ extraordinary ability ” in fields such as the arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics. And yes—culinary arts absolutely count. The key is demonstrating that your skills have risen to the very top of your field. If you've already gone through the O-1 or P-3 process, you're likely well on your way . Here’s the good news: much of the evidence used to obtain your O-1B or P-3 visa can be repurposed for your EB-1A petition . Awards, press features, expert testimonials, and proof of your work in prestigious kitchens or at cultural events—they're all valuable again. But what’s even more exciting is that everything you’ve accomplished while in the U.S. on your temporary visa—whether launching a signature tasting menu, starring in a food documentary, or leading culinary workshops—can now be used to further strengthen your case. According to USCIS, EB-1A applicants must meet at least three of ten criteria unless they’ve received a major internationally recognized award. These criteria include things like published material about your work, original contributions of major significance, high salary, and a critical role in distinguished organizations. For many chefs, especially those who’ve thrived in the U.S. hospitality scene, it’s absolutely achievable with the right guidance. What sets the EB-1A apart is that it does not require an employer sponsor . That’s right—you can self-petition! This means your culinary career can be as flexible and entrepreneurial as you want it to be, whether that means opening your own restaurant, expanding into media, or continuing to cook your way into America’s heart. Even better? It can be one of the fastest paths to a green card available. With premium processing, your I-140 petition can be adjudicated within just 15 business days. And if your country’s EB-1 visa category is current on the visa bulletin at the time of approval, you may be eligible to file your green card application immediately. This combination of speed, autonomy, and flexibility makes EB-1A an incredibly attractive next step in your immigration journey. At Santos Lloyd Law Firm, we love helping creative professionals take their next big step. If you’ve already wowed the world with your cuisine, the EB-1A may be your opportunity to stay and make your mark for good. Contact us today to find out if the EB-1A is the next right step for you!
If you are planning on filing an O1B visa based on your extraordinary ability, you may need to provide some reference letters as part of the evidence for your application.
You can use letters for various requirements. One specific requirement for the O1B that you will definitely need letters for is the requirement: Evidence the beneficiary has received significant recognition for achievements from organizations, critics, government agencies, or other recognized experts in the field in which the alien is engaged. Such testimonials must be in a form which clearly indicates the author’s authority, expertise, and knowledge of the alien’s achievement. The letters should come from individuals who work within the same field and explain their own background and accomplishments within that field. The individual should also be familiar with the applicant’s work and be able to attest to that person’s accomplishments within the specified field. Letters from individuals without experience within the same field as the a
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has concluded the annual H-1B cap lottery for Fiscal Year 2027, with employers and legal representatives now able to check selection outcomes through their registration portals.
In 1948, the world came together to declare that certain rights are inherent to every human being, regardless of nationality. Chief among these is the right to safety.

On January 14, 2026, the Trump administration announced a freeze on immigrant visa issuance for nationals of 75 countries . The administration states that this “visa freeze” is intended to review security protocols, “reduce risks,” and control immigration flows. However, the immediate reality is that this change in policy has temporarily suspended visa processing and restricted travel for applicants from numerous countries across the globe. While the legal landscape surrounding these suspensions is highly fluid and subject to change, it is important to consider how this “visa freeze” might impact your current status or immigration plans. The scope of the restrictions varies drastically depending on your country of origin and specific visa category. Most notably, a nationality-based travel ban restricts visa issuance for 19 countries : Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. Beyond this targeted ban, a broader freeze affects applicants from a designated list of up to 75 countries, leading to indefinite delays for many visa petitions. However, it is important to note that immigrant visa applications first need to be processed through USCIS, which has not paused processing applications from the 75 countries. Thus, it is important to contact an attorney to understand at what point in the process this visa freeze may affect your case. While Brazil is included in the list of 75 countries, at the time of this publication, the freeze does not include non-immigrant visas for Brazil . Non-immigrant visas are granted to foreign nationals seeking to enter the United States on a temporary basis for specific purposes, such as tourism, studying, or temporary work. This means that Brazilian applicants can still safely pursue non-immigrant employment options, such as O visas for individuals with extraordinary ability or P visas for internationally recognized athletes, without being subjected to the current travel bans or suspensions.

There are many changes and uncertainties, so please consult with a qualified attorney at Santos Lloyd Law Firm, P.C. to understand how these evolving policies might affect your specific case
