O-1A Visa Approved Using a Portfolio Prepared by ArtistSolutions, Despite the Client having a Previous USCIS Denial.

ArtistSolutions’ client, a renowned rugby coach from the UK, had experienced more than his share of US immigration problems before he contacted ArtistSolutions. He had hired a well-known attorney from New York. The attorney gave our soon-to-be client bad advice that resulted in him being detained at the US border and sent back to England. Not only that, but the attorney prepared a lackluster O-1A portfolio that resulted in the O-1A Petition being denied by the USCIS.

When the client came to us, we consulted with a new immigration attorney that we have worked with for years, who got to work perparing his legal documents. Meanwhile, we studied his professional experience, accomplishments and scheduled employment. After a thorough analysis, we developed a totally new strategy for his case, consulted with the US leading rugby organizations and put together extensive media coverage chronicling our client’s career. The client’s petitioner submitted a new O-1A Petition to the USCIS and the case was approved in just under two weeks!

Successful O-1 Portfolio Prepared by ArtistSolutions in 1 Day

Prior to working with ArtistSolutions, one of our clients from Mongolia had received some bad advice. Some professionals in the international community had told her that she could apply for an O-1 Visa long after her Optical Practical Training (OPT) had expired. As a result, she waited until her OPT was nearly completed to begin preparing her O-1 Visa application.

Just days before her OPT expired, she approached a Boston-based immigration lawyer. When the lawyer realized her OPT was going to expire in two days and the materials she prepared were not adequate, he refused to take her case.

Fortunately, one of her colleagues gave her ArtistSolutions’ contact information. She contacted us just one day before her OPT expired. The work we did is best described by the client herself:

“…The people at ArtistSolutions have been extremely accommodating and managed to help me get everything ready in a single day, going above and beyond by staying up all night, managing employees’ schedules at the last minute to accommodate my deadline…”

She submitted her O-1 portfolio and the USCIS approved her petition!

ArtistSolutions Prepared Successful O-1B Portfolios for Composer and Filmmaker

A talented Malaysian composer came to ArtistSolutions with a very small portfolio consisting of nothing more than a few flyers and work samples. After analyzing his case, we realized that he was in the process of developing a new, theoretical approach to music theory. We consulted with experts in several industries and build his portfolio around his innovative musical approach.

ArtistSolutions client, an Indian filmmaker based in New York City was immensely talented, but seemed to be lacking international acclaim. The ArtistSolutions team was able to find evidence of the client’s acclaim in different countries to the point of surprising the client herself:

“Artist Solutions… really researched my career to a point where I was finding out things about projects I’ve worked on which I didn’t know myself.”

Both clients’ petitions were approved by the USCIS without any delays or requests for evidence.

ArtistSolutions Helped Two Artists in Financial Distress

Sometimes, we are faced with the situation in which a client is struggling financially. Two such clients, a Japanese pianist and a Russian composer, each approached ArtistSolutions when they were in a difficult financial situation and could not afford our services. However, we wanted to help and brought them on as clients on a pro-bono basis. Soon thereafter, both clients had their O-1B petitions approved by the USCIS.
