Just got my O-1 visa stamped, and I couldn’t be more relieved! I had a truly great experience working with Jane Orgel and her team on my O-1 visa application. As an opera singer who had just completed my studies in the U.S. and finished a year of OPT, the next step in my immigration journey felt a bit overwhelming. The whole visa process can definitely be stressful, but from the very start, Jane and her team made everything clear, organized, and approachable. Jane’s deep knowledge of O-1 visas, especially for artists, was evident right away. She helped build a strong case that really reflected my work and achievements. Thanks to Ms. Orgel and her team’s thorough preparation, my petition was approved without any Requests for Evidence (RFE), which is a huge testament to their expertise. I just got my O-1 visa stamped with no issues, and I’m incredibly grateful for how smoothly everything went. Their guidance and competence ensured a seamless transition through the entire process. A special thank you to Senior Paralegal Naoko Umitani, who was fantastic throughout. She was always responsive, professional, and kind, making sure I felt informed and supported every step of the way. I’m truly grateful to Ms. Orgel and her team for their professionalism and attention to detail. They really understand the unique needs of artists, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking immigration support, especially those working in the arts.
