Each year around March, hundreds of U.S. employers submit registrations for foreign nationals in the H-1B lottery conducted by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Many of these foreign nationals seek to work in developing segments of the U.S. economy such as information technology or engineering. Due to the ever-increasing number of entries submitted by employers and the inadequate number of H-1B visas available through the lottery to meet demand, thousands of foreign nationals are not selected and scramble for alternate options to continue living and working in the United States. Sometimes, spouses and children may also depend on securing an appropriate dependent status to remain in the United States as well. One alternative that many skip over is the O-1B nonimmigrant visa for individuals of extraordinary ability in the arts, which may be the best option for foreign nationals working in creative fields.
