Can I apply for the O-1 multiple times with different agents?

Yes, technically there is no rule that prohibits filing more than one O-1 petition over time, nor one that requires you to use the same agent or representative every time. Changing agents between petitions is permitted.

What truly matters is that each petition is evaluated individually by USCIS. The outcome depends on the quality and consistency of the evidence demonstrating your extraordinary ability, not on the number of filings or who signs as your representative.

That said, changing agents requires care. Inconsistent documentation across petitions, or a strategy that appears to circumvent the requirements, can raise red flags during review. The integrity and coherence of your record work in your favor.

If you are planning to file a new petition, the focus should be on gathering robust evidence aligned with your track record, ideally with the support of a trusted advisor. Be wary of promises of guaranteed approval and verify the current requirements at the official source (USCIS).
