CASE: I-129 (O-1B Petition)
CLIENT: Korean
LOCATION: Los Angeles, CA
Our client contacted us in June 2024 about the possibility of getting an O-1B visa in the United States. She is a renowned solo / collaborative pianist and is currently working with different music establishments. Our client was ranked in first place in national competitions and had a chance to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York. Our office determined that she was qualified for the O-1B visa petition, alien of extraordinary ability in the Arts.
After the review of our client’s credentials and qualifications, we determined that our client meets 4 of the 6 categories, which is more than 3 required as an alien of extraordinary ability in Arts.
Our office prepared a 19-page brief for our client’s O-1B filing. Our client also obtained 6 letters of recommendation from experts in her field of endeavor. Also, our office contacted the American Guild of Musical Artists and obtained a consultation letter for her case. Lastly, we included her contracts with various employers and itineraries.
We filed her I-129 petition to the USCIS on October 10, 2024 via premium processing. On October 29, 2024, the USCIS approved the I-129 petition for our client’s O-1B visa.
