Can I get a Green Card with an O-3 visa?

The type of O visa the principal person possesses determines whether you can obtain permanent residence in the United States with an O-3 visa. You can all apply for a Green Card if the principal visa holder has an O-1 visa. The EB-1 Green Card for remarkable talents is available to O-1 visa holders, and if they are granted, so is their family, which includes their spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21. If the primary visa holder has an O-2 visa, however, you must build ties to your home country and return when your visa expires. This means that neither the O-2 visa holder nor you, as an O-3 visa dependent, are eligible to apply for a Green Card. You must convert your status to a visa that enables dual intent, such as the H-1B visa, in order to obtain the Green Card.
