Related Non-Immigrant Status

Are there any derivative or secondary beneficiary classes associated with O-1 status?

The following derivative classes are available in the O category:

• O-2 Category This non-immigrant status is available to those who will accompany and assist in the artistic and athletic performance of an O-1 alien. To qualify for O-2 status, the alien must be an "integral part" of the actual performance and have "critical skills and experience" with the O-1 alien which are not of a general nature and which cannot be performed by U.S. workers.
• O-3 Category The spouse and unmarried children of an O-1 alien may hold O-3 status as dependents of the principal alien. This status allows the O-3 alien to reside in the United States, but not to work.
