On Jan. 8, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued policy manual guidance to clarify how it evaluates evidence to determine O-1 visa eligibility, including adding examples of evidence for individuals in critical and emerging technologies.
Key Points:
The updated guidance was issued in the USCIS Policy Manual, Vol. 2, Part M.
Additional Information: The updated guidance addresses President Biden’s Oct. 30, 2023, Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, which directs the Department of Homeland Security to modernize immigration pathways for experts in artificial intelligence and other critical and emerging technologies, including for O-1A nonimmigrants.
