Everything employers ask before the first interest letter, answered plainly.
Straight answers, in plain language. Anything not covered here: talk to a person.
No. The candidate's case is filed through an authorized agent or petitioner — your company does not file, you do not pay the USCIS filing fee, and you are not running an H-1B sponsorship process.
Nothing. Checking a role, posting a role, and receiving matches are free, and no payment method is collected anywhere in the flow.
A short, non-binding statement that your company would engage the candidate if they are authorized to work. It is not an offer, not a contract, and not a petition. See the full description.
The agent-based O-1 is an established structure in the regulations, used for decades in sport and entertainment. The legal read belongs to your attorney; the employer and itinerary problem belongs to O1DMatch.
With premium processing, USCIS decides an O-1 petition in 15 calendar days. The petition files year-round — there is no cap and no lottery.
The letter is non-binding. Hiring decisions stay yours, on your paper, at your pace.
The O-1 itinerary can cover multiple engagements. Some employers use that to engage a world-class person fractionally before committing to a full role.
O1D Match LLC, a Florida company, built by a licensed immigration attorney's team with over fifteen years of agent-based O-1 practice. The platform is live and free for employers.
Candidates carry profiles, evidence summaries and O-1 readiness indicators — you see people who have already built the evidence record, not raw applicants.
It is the normal case. There is no sponsorship infrastructure to build — your part is an interest letter and, later, an ordinary offer.
