A comment on H-1B: Federal judge backs government’s narrower view of ‘specialty occupation’. Parent comment
The standard is somewhat lower than EB-1. While EB-1 requires what Congress calls "extraordinary ability", the O-1 requires "exceptional ability".
Again, the way things work is that whichever officer looks at the case, subjectively decides if it qualifies (in his/her opinion).
Nothing like the highly-objective points-based skilled immigration system you have in some countries.
