The smarter path, explained.
How the marketplace works and what a real O-1 hiring conversation looks like.
Built by an agent-based O-1 immigration practice.
The platform was built by a licensed immigration attorney's team that has filed agent-petitioned O-1 and P-1 cases for years. O1DMatch is the software and specialist side; legal work, where needed, is done by independent attorneys.
Score 75%+ and bring 5 employers. We may cover your O-1.
Each quarter, O1D Match selects up to one member whose O-1 profile scores 75% or higher and who refers five verified U.S. employers. Our attorney prepares that member's O-1 petition and O1D Match files it as the U.S. agent petitioner, under regular processing, at no legal or petitioner fee. Government fees are not included. This quarter closes December 31, 2026.
Selection at O1D Match's discretion; not a lottery. No purchase necessary. No guarantee of approval. O1D Match is not a law firm. The attorney represents O1D Match as petitioner; the recipient is the beneficiary, not the attorney's client. Full terms apply.
Straight answers.
I'm on J-1, F-1 or H-1B. Can I switch to O-1?
Often yes, but J-1 holders may be subject to the two-year home residence rule. Confirm your case with an attorney. Legal advice on your specific situation comes from an independent licensed attorney. O1DMatch is not a law firm.
Do I need a U.S. job offer?
No single employer has to sponsor you. An authorized agent can petition, and we work on lining up employer interest.
Can a university or lab be the employer?
Yes. Universities, research institutes and companies can all be employers on an O-1.
What counts as a "critical role"?
A leading or critical role for an organization with a distinguished reputation, shown with letters and documents.
How long does it take?
Evidence prep usually takes weeks. USCIS premium processing then gives a decision within 15 business days.
Is this legal advice?
No. Legal advice on your specific situation comes from an independent licensed attorney. O1DMatch is not a law firm.
