Ms. H is an interaction designer with a bachelor's degree who focuses on EdTech product design. Her work has been adopted by multiple schools and institutions, and she has received industry awards.

Her remaining OPT time was limited. If the O-1 was not approved quickly, she would likely be forced into CPT, adding complexity and cost to her status transition. She also lacked confidence in her own application.

We cut redundant materials, focused on her awards, the real-world adoption of her products, and expert recognition, and filed quickly to avoid the CPT risk.

O-1 visa approved on first submission with no RFE, sparing her the extra burden of CPT.
