We just had an O-1B visa approval for a design professional that focuses on window displays. The visa was was approved for 3 years and the national was from Italy. The applicant applied using premium processing and the application was approved in less than a week. (3 days). The O-1B category was in the Arts where a standard of “distinction” is used. This standard is one where an applicant must show that they are recognized in their area of expertise. You can find out more about the O-1B visa by clicking here.
