If you are
abroad and you want to apply for the O visa you must still file a petition with all the proper forms, evidence for the requirements and the fees. If the case is approved, you will then be able to file an online form called a DS-160 and schedule a consular interview to have the visa issued in your passport. Once the visa is issued you will be able to travel to the U.S. Depending on what country you are from some travel visas may be issued for shorter periods. Although your O visa approval notice may be valid for three years the actual visa may be issued for less time. If you will need to travel during the O visa period, you may need to schedule more than one interview to have a visa issued in your passport.
This can be a confusing process so it is helpful to have the guidance of an attorney, please feel free to contact our office if you think you may be eligible for this type of visa.
