- You show us a role. Paste a link on the free
match-check or post it from a free account. Nothing to retype,
nothing to pay.
- We check it against real evidence records. Candidates on O1DMatch carry
profiles, evidence summaries and O-1 readiness indicators — the raw material of an O-1
petition, organized before you ever see the person.
- You see who matches. A person — not an autoresponder — comes back with
matched candidates. If the honest answer is "nobody yet," that is the answer you get.
- If you like someone, you respond with a one-page interest letter. It is
short, non-binding, and takes minutes. Here is exactly what it
is.
- The petition happens without you. The candidate's case is filed through
an authorized agent or petitioner. You are never the petitioner, you pay no USCIS filing fee,
and you run no sponsorship process. Premium processing returns a decision in 15
calendar days.
- You hire a work-authorized person. Standard offer, standard onboarding,
standard I-9 — by then they hold O-1 status tied to the itinerary their agent filed.
What it costs you: nothing. There is no charge to
check a role, post a role, or receive matches. No card is collected anywhere in this flow.
What we ask of you
Honesty and speed. If a candidate is not right, say no quickly — an unanswered application
is worse for everyone than a fast rejection. If one is right, the interest letter is the
smallest possible yes.
Common questions
How fast can someone start?
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.
What if we change our minds after an interest letter?
The letter is non-binding. Hiring decisions stay yours, on your paper, at your pace.
Can the candidate work for us and others at the same time?
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.
