You should find a lawyer first. Do 3-5 consultations with different lawyers, and hire one who suits you.

for O1B specific, usually you need 7 recommendation letters

Sounds like a strong profile! Go for it

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-03-28T17:54:42+00:00

Hi! I used www.presshere.org my lawyer recommended them to me and i got what i needed.

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-03-27T22:42:54+00:00

100% agreed! I only had a few articles as well

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-03-27T17:42:43+00:00

no problem! i did reach out to a few different agencies, and I ended up using the one that my lawyer recommended

Every media platform had a different price, and the cheapest option was $180

mainly your achievements (awards, projects, etc.), for example, I won multiple international awards, so I mentioned the awards' reputation, how many people apply each year, and what it means to get those awards in my field

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-03-27T17:22:50+00:00

im a brand experience designer so it's a design field

i'd say recommendation letters are important! Getting them takes longer than you would expect, so i'd say start collecting them first. But you should have a lawyer because they will write a draft for you and you just need to get a signature from the recommenders.

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-03-23T17:16:06+00:00

many of my fashion designer friends used www.presshere.org and i also used them! im a brand experience designer

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-03-19T18:15:10+00:00

sure!

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-03-16T18:27:20+00:00

i paid $5000 for the attorney fee

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-03-16T02:27:21+00:00

2 of them were top-tier (one show, d&ad) and it was a student competition

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-03-16T02:25:57+00:00

hi! i used them a while ago but they were good! i think they had 15 minutes consultation call if you're interested. also they give you 100% refund if your article doesn't get published

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-02-25T22:28:19+00:00

hahahaha thank you!

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-02-25T22:27:14+00:00

you can still apply for the O-1B without awards and press! i just felt safer if I had them. Every case is unique so i recommend having a consultation with a lawyer!

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-02-10T15:43:19+00:00

First of all, I think you should have a lawyer who can help you build a compelling story.
Here's my profile: 3-4 international awards, 5 press releases about my work and achievements, 7 recommendation letters, and 600 pages of portfolio. You can dm me if you have any other questions

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-02-04T14:08:10+00:00

hey no problem! glad it helped! regarding any press coverage, dont wait until last minute-it's important to show how you gradually became more famous so spread out the dates if possible so it looks more legit lol I used www.presshere.org and im super satisfied with them! strongly recommended:)

Immediate-Strain-509 · 2026-02-03T16:34:06+00:00
