Every O-1 and P-1 petition needs an entity to sign the I-129. If you are a founder, or you work for four clients instead of one boss, that entity does not obviously exist. USCIS has an answer for this — a U.S. agent petitioner — and almost nobody explains how it works. Twelve short sessions with Attorney Sherrod Seward that do.
Most O-1 advice tells you how to prove you are extraordinary. Almost none of it tells you who is actually going to file the thing. That is the question that stops founders and independent professionals cold.
USCIS does not permit true self-sponsorship. If you own the business, you cannot simply file for yourself and expect it to hold up.
Good for your career, awkward for a petition that assumes a single sponsoring employer. There is a filing format built for this. Most people never hear about it.
Companies get nervous about immigration paperwork. A willing employer is not the same thing as a willing petitioner.
Counsel handles the legal arguments. Counsel does not hand you a petitioner. That part is yours — and it is what this course explains.
No filler. Each one answers a question you would otherwise pay a consultation fee to ask.
The role every O and P petition requires — and why it does not have to be your employer.
Honest scope. What you get, and what you will still need an attorney for.
And who is better off with a straightforward employer filing. Sometimes that is you.
Including agent-for-multiple-employers, and the format for the self-employed.
A page-by-page walkthrough of the 28-page document your attorney files with.
Interest letters, the preponderance standard, and how a three-year itinerary really gets built.
The clean division of labor, so nothing falls through the gap between us and counsel.
Paid in full, payment plan, and paying only once you are approved.
What happens between paying and your attorney having what they need.
Mail forwarding, the ongoing petitioner role, and what maintenance actually buys you.
Whose job post-filing work is, and what changes cost once you are approved.
Employer versus petitioner, job offers, guarantees, and adding employers later.
You built the company and you cannot sponsor yourself out of it. Learn the structure that keeps you in control of your company while holding O-1 status.
Four clients, three cities, one visa. Interest letters are enough — and leaving one client does not end your status.
A fast, reliable orientation to agent-based filings you can hand to a client who is weighing the structure.
No. It is an on-demand educational course about how petitioner and U.S. agent services work. It does not create an attorney-client relationship. For advice on your specific case, speak with a qualified immigration attorney.
No. This teaches you how the structure works so you can decide whether you want it. Engaging O1D Match as your petitioner is a separate signup.
It helps. Session seven covers exactly what your attorney is responsible for versus what a petitioner service provides. Plenty of buyers watch it alongside their counsel to divide the work correctly.
