The requirements for O-1 visa or status are very similar to those for the EB1-EA (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) employment based permanent residence category. The difference is that the O-1 standards apply to those seeking a non-immigrant status, while the EB1-EA standard is for those seeking permanent immigrant status.
