The Real Math
H-1B vs O-1, side by side. The numbers aren't close.
Most U.S. employers default to H-1B because that's the muscle memory. But the cost, timeline, and risk profile of the O-1 — particularly via agent-based petition — is fundamentally different. Below is what you actually pay, file, and wait for.
| H-1B (TRADITIONAL) | O-1 via O1Match | |
|---|---|---|
| Filing fee you pay | $100,000 (effective 2025) | $0 — you don't file |
| Lottery / cap | ~25% selection rate | No cap, no lottery |
| Your paperwork burden | Sponsorship petition, LCA, prevailing wage | One-page interest letter |
| Legal exposure | Yes — employment-based sponsorship | None — candidate self-petitions |
| Timeline to work-authorized | 6–12 months | 15 days with premium processing |
| Multiple employers | No — single sponsor | Yes — candidate works for many |

Common Questions
Answers about how this actually works.
If something's unclear, call +1 (561) 794-4621. We'll walk you through it.
-
That's right. Under the agent-based O-1 model, the candidate's authorized agent files the petition with USCIS. You sign a one-page interest letter expressing your intent to engage the candidate for U.S. work. That's the extent of your involvement.
No sponsorship petition. No Labor Condition Application. No prevailing wage determination. No legal exposure for the employment relationship.
-
No catch. This is a limited launch promotion — the first 200 employers to redeem HIRE200 get the Starter plan at zero cost, with both the $25/month subscription and the $100 setup fee waived for as long as the account stays continuously active. After 200 redemptions, the offer closes.
If you cancel and re-subscribe later, you'll be at standard pricing
-
HIRE200 stops working at checkout. New employers sign up at standard pricing — Free, Starter ($25/month), Growth ($49/month), Business ($99/month), or Enterprise ($199/month). Existing founder accounts keep the free Starter rate as long as they don't cancel.
-
You haven't paid USCIS, you haven't filed paperwork, and you haven't taken on legal liability for the candidate's status. The interest letter is contingent — it expresses intent, not employment. If the petition is rejected, you simply move to another candidate. The financial and legal downside is materially smaller than H-1B sponsorship.
-
Self-upgrade to Growth ($49/month — 15 jobs / 40 letters), Business ($99/month — 50 jobs / 100 letters), or Enterprise ($199/month — unlimited). Founder employers who upgrade keep their priority placement and account history; only the cap changes.
-
Each candidate on the platform has an O-1 readiness score generated by AI-classified evidence across the 8 USCIS criteria. About 60% of scored candidates qualify. The score is visible to you before you commit — you can filter for high-scoring candidates only if you want to skip the ones still building toward eligibility.
-
Placement fees are between you and the candidate, where applicable, and are disclosed up front in the interest letter. O1DMatch is not a party to those arrangements and doesn't collect or take a cut. Most of our employer-side revenue comes from subscriptions and from premium recruitment engagements (which are separate from this offer).
-
Yes. If you have a specific O-1 candidate in mind, you can invite them to create a profile, your engagement runs through the platform, and the same interest letter flow applies. Useful when you've already identified the talent and just need the legal infrastructure to move it forward.
