Dear Peter,
A citizen of Central Europe (not in Visa Waiver List) who needs to travel regularly to USA to attend different workshops/conferences. Every year I have to apply for B1/B2 (because of Technology Alert List I guess) anew.
1) Is there a better visa option especially if my main employer is a big tech US company? (with EU-based local R&D office)
2) May a B1/B2 holder do work for a short period of time (a week or two) while being in US?
- proberts 8y ago1) Possibly get an O-1 through your main employer in the US. And this doesn't preclude you for working for other companies when you are outside the U.S. 2) No.

Peter, does this get Extraordinarity usually demonstrated through high salary and or patents or something else? What is the typical threshold there? Knowing this would help to convince my employer to invest in this process.
- proberts 8y agoThere are a variety of criteria and high comp and original contributions (patents) are just two. The others are publications, press, essential roles for distinguished organizations, memberships, and journal or competition review. And you must meet at least 3 to qualify for an O-1 visa.
