O3 Visa Application (31F) — Husband (34M) on O1 Visa.

[dmags 0]

Good day! 
 

My husband just left the UK for a job in the USA under an O1 visa. We got married last month after being together for almost 9 years. We also purchased a flat together in 2021. I am meaning to join him on an O3 visa as soon as possible. 
 

My question is: Do I need an immigration lawyer to apply for an O3 visa? Does my application require a sponsorship from his current employers? I have searched for the requirements and they’re quite basic so I’m wondering if I’m missing something here? 
 

I’m aware that I will need to complete Form DS-160 and provide receipts of the fees I will have to pay. I currently hold the following:

1. Copies of his passport. 
2. Copies of his visa (in passport). 
3. My UK passport. 
4. Marriage Certificate. 
 

Would I also need a copy of his employment contract? Would I need to submit a copy of our property’s deed of sale? 
 

Thank you!

It is pretty simple you are not being sponsored you get it as being his dependent 

 

Property sale has nothing to do with it being his spouse and him having an O1 does

Thank you that’s very helpful!! 

We are still waiting for my husband’s contract of employment but I am keen to apply for my O3 visa as soon as possible. I am just worried they’ll request for the contract and I won’t have it on hand, which in turn might affect my application.

He got his O1 and your interview will not be immediate
