How I Built My Case: EB1A, O-1 & NIW Strategies for Creatives
Still anxious about missing the H-1B lottery — or tired of feeling stuck because of it?
Have you ever thought about exploring alternatives like O-1, NIW, or even the prestigious EB1A? You might be more qualified than you think — especially if you’re in the creative or product space.
Join us for an inspiring and tactical session with a Senior Product Designer who successfully applied for EB1A under the Design Direction category. She’ll walk us through her real-life experience — from building her case to overcoming self-doubt — and show you how to start crafting your own story for immigration success.
This isn’t your average visa workshop. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how design and creativity can translate into “extraordinary ability” — and how to position yourself for a future you control.
Highlights
💡 Strategic Guidance: Understand how O-1, NIW, and EB1A visas work — and why they’re powerful options for creatives.
🎨 Craft Your Case: Learn how to position your design or creative work as “extraordinary” in the eyes of USCIS.
🛠️ Real-World Insights: Get practical tips on timelines, documentation, and managing the emotional rollercoaster.
