How much does an O-1 visa cost?
A guide on how much an O1 visa costs, including government fees, attorney fees, and expedition fees.
What are the initial costs?
Expect to spend thousands of dollars when applying for an O-1 visa. Attorney fees for preparing your O-1 visa application can range between $8,000 to $12,000 at a top firm. This typically covers strategy and legal advice throughout the O-1 visa application process to ensure your case is as appealing as possible. Additionally, the fee should also cover drafting a thorough letter presenting your eligibility as an extraordinary ability individual. Research, gathering all supporting material, preparation of all requisition forms and fees, and assistance with drafting recommendation letters are usually part of the package as well.
Additional government fees
In addition to attorney fees, there are other costs associated with the application of an O-1 visa. The government filing fees include a $850 Form I-129 and an optional $2,805 for premium processing, which expedites the process to as short as 15 calendar days.
