The I-140, the link you provided, clearly states it is for an employer to file for an immigrant worker visa. If you can get an employer to petition that for you then you can use the I-485 to adjust status.

Thanks for that information.

I also checked on this linkSelf Petition

which clearly states

In two classifications of immigrant workers, the workers are not required to have a job offer and may self-petition (the worker does not need an employer to sponsor them). These categories include:

Individuals of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics, (E11)

Individuals who were granted a National Interest Waiver (NIW), (E21)

Note: You may NOT self petition based on employment, if you are not in one of these two categories. For other employment based green cards, see the “Green Card Through a Job Offer” or “Green Card Through Investment” links to the left under “Green Card Through a Job.”

Individuals of extraordinary ability are considered to be the best of the best in their field and it is an eligibility category that applies to very few individuals. Examples of who may be considered an E11 immigrant include Nobel Prize winners, notable athletes, and others who have achieved great successes in their field.

An O visa seems to allow dual intent. But you cannot just adjust status from it- there is no self petition. You need someone, such as a US citizen wife, to petition for you.

Well from my knowledge I have to file for an I-140 then I-145

USCIS

I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker

Nobody has never done this before?

What makes you think you can ? On what basis you want to get it ?

The basis of employment being someone with extraordinary ability the arts and entertainment industry. Can anyone help with some information about the Self Petition. I understand that Immigration Lawyers are the way forward but I do not have one.

There is no adjustment of status from an O visa to LPR.

Then how to I get my green card as an O1 visa holder?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if you could advise me.

I have an O1 visa being in the entertainment arts (Makeup Artist

I really would like to pursue my career in the USA and obtain my green card. An immigration lawyer helped me with my O visa, do you think I can do the application with supporting evidence without a lawyer as I cannot afford another one.

Also what are the steps that I need to take? My agency sponsored me.

Many thanks in advance
