Q: Are there any O-1 visa lawyer who are willing to prepare the case for an architect+animator professional?
I have worked on very media famous project in NY of zaha hadid as her team member, I designed multimillion dollar residential house in USA and currently doing project management for construction and interiors as a freelancer, I have worked in multiple countries like USA, canada, switzerland, singapore and India, I studied and do animation in architecture, I have published and referenced thesis in India and I can get letters the way we want and willing to work on creating credentials to support my O-1 visa? I feel like I have good credentials but may be short in professional credentials to justify O-1. Are there any lawyers who are willing to take on my case and work with me to build up O-1 worthy profile? Happy to share my resume.
