No RFE
Urgent approval after missing the H-1B lottery
Concert Pianist
Background
L is a recently graduated pianist with extensive performance experience and multiple international awards. L was not selected in the H-1B lottery, had less than three months of OPT remaining, and needed to travel abroad for work before it expired, making the situation extremely urgent.
Challenges
The time window was extremely short, and all materials had to be prepared and filed within a very tight deadline.
Strategy
We quickly compiled L's national and international recognition, industry honors, and performance award records, and prepared the petition efficiently.
Outcome
O-1 visa approved with no RFE at any stage.
