Approved without RFE
Background
A senior producer spanning traditional film and TV and new media. She achieved some success in traditional film early on and later shifted her work entirely to short-form drama. She worried that her older film experience would be questioned as outdated, and that short-form drama, as an emerging industry, would not be recognized as a professional field.
Challenges
We had to show that she had remained at the top of her field after the transition, and get USCIS to view short-form drama as a leading-edge segment of the film and TV industry rather than ordinary short videos.
Strategy
We presented her early film experience as her professional foundation and her current short-form drama achievements as a new expression of that expertise in a high-frequency, high-output field. We showed her central role as a producer from several angles, including market share, industry standard-setting, and investor recognition.
Outcome
Filed with premium processing and approved without RFE in under 20 days.
