Yes, it is generally possible to use different sponsors for each project under the O-1 visa. There is no rule that prohibits multiple sponsors, as long as each project is well structured and meets the applicable requirements.
Each sponsor, which can be an employer, a company, or an agent, must present robust evidence that you have the experience and skill required for that project. For this reason, each proposal must come with its own complete documentation package.
- Independent documentation for each project and each sponsor.
- Clear evidence of the relationship between you, the sponsor, and the project.
- Organization that makes the separation between proposals explicit.
This clarity helps demonstrate that each project is independent and well-founded. Since each case is reviewed individually by USCIS, it is worth preparing each petition carefully and seeking expert guidance when needed.
