The demand for AI talent is global, but navigating US immigration as an employer can feel overwhelming. This webinar is designed to give employers a clear, practical overview of the two visa categories most relevant to hiring high-caliber international talent — the O-1 and the EB-1 — including what they require, how they differ, and when each makes sense.

Manifest immigration attorney Henry Lindpere will walk through the realities of each pathway: eligibility standards, what documentation employers need to provide, and what the process typically looks like from start to finish. The goal is to give you enough clarity to have smarter conversations with your legal team and move forward with confidence.

Whether you're hiring your first international employee or scaling a team, this session will help you understand what's involved before you commit to a path.

Topics we can cover include:

O-1 visa eligibility for AI and tech professionals
EB-1 pathways and what qualifies as extraordinary ability
Timelines, costs, and what to expect from the process
What documentation employers need to support a petition
Common challenges when sponsoring international hires
Differences between O-1 and EB-1 and when each makes sense
