Past Achievements

Aside from being nominated, or winning, a major award like an Academy or an Emmy or a Grammy, you can show that you are extraordinary through numerous pieces of evidence. These include publications in major newspapers, by or about yourself, or it can include letters from experts in the field talking about you and your achievements.

You can show this also by contracts or standing in the box office and other awards. So now let’s talk about the future.

Future Work While in the U.S.

For the future, you want to show what you’ll be doing here while you are in the United States, and you do this through your contracts, your offers of employment, as well as your letters from those future employers discussing your role, as well as why their organization is distinguished.

You want to put all of these in your itinerary  and show it to the government. So that way they have a clear idea of what you’re planning to do while you’re in the States.
