It requires demonstrating sustained acclaim or extraordinary ability and temporary work in the U.S. The visa is initially granted for up to three years[3], with the possibility of extensions, and allows for legal work for the sponsoring employer. Family members can also apply for accompanying O-3 visas. The application process involves filing Form I-129[3] with the USCIS and requires employer sponsorship. It is not possible to self-sponsor in this category.
