O-2 Visa

The O-2 visa accompanies the O-1 visa, which allows foreign nationals with extraordinary abilities in the arts, sciences, business, or athletics to temporarily work in the U.S.  The O-2 visa is for people who will be directly assisting the O-1 visa holder.

The O-2 visa is available to individuals who will provide essential, direct assistance to a person on an O-1 visa in an athletic, artistic, or motion picture undertaking. It is not available for those who will assist in a medical, scientific, educational, or business undertaking.

The applicant must have skills that are not of a general nature, and are essential to the undertakings of the O-1 visa holder.

There are no travel restrictions for O-1 or O-2 visa holders. They can travel anywhere they need to, inside or outside the U.S. As long as the visa is still valid, they can reenter the U.S. without any trouble.
