An interior designer from China who played important roles in several award-winning projects and is a member of well-known interior design and architectural decoration associations.

After the initial filing, USCIS questioned the prestige of his awards, his association memberships, and his media coverage. It found no independent evidence of international or national prestige and had not seen the associations' membership criteria or review process.

We submitted coverage from authoritative media and association certificates to support the weight of the awards and memberships, and used a recommendation letter from the CEO and industry comparison materials to show his central leadership role at the company. All documents included certified translations.

Approved just 3 days after the RFE response was filed.
