O-1A: EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY

$8,000 flat service fee · USCIS government fees separate

The O-1A is tied to you, not to one competition. Champions, medalists and elite-ranked fighters use it to fight, coach, corner, run seminars and build a U.S. career across multiple engagements — flexibility the P-1A doesn't offer.

THE PROCESS, START TO FINISH

Criteria mapping — O-1A is won on evidence categories — awards, press, expert letters, high remuneration, critical role. We map your career to the criteria before drafting.
Petitioner + itinerary — our agency can petition and plead a multi-engagement itinerary: BKFC bouts plus training camps, appearances, coaching and media work.
Expert letters — we draft and place opinion letters from credible names in combat sports — the backbone of a fight-game O-1A.
Evidence package — titles, rankings, televised bouts, press coverage, and the required advisory consultation.
Filing (Form I-129) — prepared and filed; premium processing available.
Consular step — visa stamping with full interview prep.
Build toward EB-1A — a strong O-1A file is the foundation for the extraordinary-ability green card later.

AT A GLANCE

Question	Answer
Who is it for?	Champions, Olympic medalists, top-10 ranked fighters — and elite coaches.
O-1A vs P-1A?	P-1A = compete. O-1A = compete, coach, train others, seminars, media — the whole career.
How long?	Up to 3 years initially, extendable in 1-year increments indefinitely.
Can my team come?	Yes — O-2 support visas ride on your O-1A.
Green card path?	O-1A evidence maps almost one-to-one onto EB-1A — see the $8,000 EB-1A track.

Corner team: coaches, cutmen and essential support staff file as P-1S (with a P-1 athlete) or O-2 (with an O-1). They ride on your case — tell us about your team and we file the camp together.

QUESTIONS FIGHTERS ASK

Am I 'extraordinary' enough?

If you've held a title, medaled, or sat in world rankings — very possibly. The evidence mix decides it, and the free check is where we tell you straight.

Can I coach on an O-1A?

Yes — that's its biggest advantage over the P-1A. Fighters aging into coaching use exactly this route.

What if I fight for other promotions too?

Fine — the O-1A itinerary can cover multiple promotions and engagement types.
