Common questions
Is this a job opening?
No. This is a role profile: a description of a kind of role U.S. employers hire international talent for. It is not a vacancy at a specific company. If you fit it, O1DMatch helps you build the O-1 case and meet U.S. companies that post real roles and gigs on the platform.
Do I need one employer to file my petition?
Not necessarily. An O-1 must be filed by someone in the U.S., but that can be a U.S. agent filing for work with several employers. If you have no employer who can file, the platform shows agents that can petition on your behalf.
What does code WORKWITHUS give me?
It unlocks the O1DMatch Starter plan at no cost: your full eligibility breakdown and recommendations, your evidence map, and access to apply to roles and gigs from U.S. companies on the platform.
Does a high score mean my visa will be approved?
No. The score shows how your evidence lines up against the criteria. USCIS decides every case, and an attorney reviews yours before anything is filed. No outcome is promised.
