Urgent filing approved without RFE
Background
A former member of a well-known girl group in China who planned to continue her entertainment career in the United States. Her main achievements dated from her girl-group years, and there were less than two months before the filing deadline.
Challenges
Her peak achievements were fairly old, so we had to show that she was still active in the industry and not just living off past success.
Strategy
We combined highlights from her girl-group years, such as awards and media coverage, with her ongoing entertainment work, and used quantitative indicators such as follower counts, box office from live performances, and brand endorsements to show her current activity in the industry.
Outcome
All materials were completed within two months, and the O-1 was approved on first submission with no RFE.
