Success Stories/Immigration/O-1 Extraordinary Ability Visa/Creative Director: Four H-1B Lottery Misses, Then O-1 Approved
O-1 approved

Four lottery misses

Creative Director

Background

W entered the H-1B lottery four times in a row without being selected and, discouraged, was considering leaving the United States. On closer review, we found that as a creative director in creative marketing and event planning, he had already built international recognition and significant results.

Challenges

His undergraduate education was a junior college (associate-level) program, and his graduate major did not fully match his work in creative marketing. A cross-disciplinary background like this can easily be seen as an inconsistent career record.

Strategy

We tied together his organizational talent from his student years and his post-graduation experience planning large multinational events, turning the story of "junior college, cross-disciplinary study, and repeated lottery misses" into one coherent account of growth.

Outcome

O-1 visa approved, opening a new career path for him.
