[O-1B] Architectural Designer’s Artist Visa Approved

An architectural designer approached our firm upon a friend’s recommendation while on OPT, seeking guidance for an O-1B artist visa application. Although the client had received several awards during their academic years, these accolades were not particularly supportive of an artist visa petition.

Our immigration team advised the client to participate in competitions relevant to their industry and professional role. Based on that, the client received media coverage from mainstream outlets highlighting their achievements. At the same time, we thoroughly explored and showcased the client’s critical contributions to their company and major design projects, and prepared strong recommendation letters supporting their case.

We ultimately submitted the O-1B petition, and we are pleased to announce that it has been approved. Congratulations once again to our client!

The O-1B visa is designed for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary ability in the arts, motion picture, or television industry. The complex application process requires substantial evidence of outstanding achievements and strict compliance with USCIS criteria, which can be challenging for applicants.

For a specialized visa like the O-1B, it is crucial to have an experienced attorney who understands the intricacies of the process and can communicate effectively with USCIS.

At Song Law Firm, our immigration team has built a strong track record of success with O-1A, O-1B, and a variety of other immigration cases. We maintain clear and consistent communication with our clients to highlight their strengths, while staying up to date on evolving visa trends and USCIS policy changes. This ensures that we provide strategic insight and guidance throughout the application process and maintain a high approval rate.
