6 Months to O-1 Visa: Your Roadmap to Applying

​Six months is enough time to go from exploring the O-1 to being ready to file — but only if you know what to focus on and in what order. Most people spend that time gathering the wrong evidence, waiting too long on the right steps, or missing opportunities to build their case.

​In this session, Manifest immigration attorney Guilherme Zaia will walk through a realistic, month-by-month roadmap for getting your O-1 petition ready to file in six months.

​Guilherme will cover:

• ​What needs to happen in each phase of your six-month runway

• ​How to audit your current profile and identify gaps

• ​Which evidence to prioritize and how to start building it now

• ​How to approach recommenders, documentation, and petition drafting on a timeline

• ​What to expect during the filing process and how to prepare

• ​Common delays that push timelines back — and how to avoid them

​If you're serious about filing your O-1 and want a clear plan to get there, this session will give you the roadmap.
