o-1 approval secured for talented fashion and beauty expert/writer

Managing Partner Michael Wildes is pleased to announce that the firm has successfully obtained an O-1 visa approval for a talented fashion and beauty expert/writer based on her extraordinary ability in the arts.

In order to qualify for an O-1 visa, which allows individuals of extraordinary ability in the arts, sciences, athletics or business, to live and work in the United States, a foreign national must provide adequate documentation to support a claim of extraordinary ability as demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim; substantial documentation evidencing that he/she meets at least 3 of the acceptable evidence categories as defined by statute; a written advisory opinion from a peer group (if applicable); and an offer of employment (or multiple offers of employment, and a third party agent to petition on the individual’s behalf).

Our client has built a stellar reputation and an impressive list of accomplishments in her career over the past decade. She has worked, and will continue to work, as a beauty and fashion consultant for some of the top fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. Furthermore, her work as a beauty and fashion writer has been prominently displayed in the pages of the world’s leading fashion and beauty magazines, including Vogue, Glamour, Condé Nast Traveler, and Tatler. Her behind-the-scenes expertise and consultancy is in-demand and rare, as demonstrated by the fact that these publications continue to seek her talents. They rely on her authority as a trendsetter in the field to inform millions of fashion-conscious readers globally.

We are thrilled to have helped secure an O-1 visa for our client, so she can accept the positions that were offered to her in her field of expertise by prestigious companies in the United States.
