Can actors qualify for O-1B without awards?

Yes. Actors can qualify for an O-1B even without awards.Awards are only one possible form of evidence and are not mandatory. You can qualify through other indicators of distinction, such as strong critical reviews, high box office revenue or viewership ratings, or leading roles in distinguished productions.High compensation or commercial success also counts as evidence, for example participation in a project with over US$1 million in box office receipts. In addition, 4–6 reference letters from recognized industry experts can help strengthen the case and offset the absence of major awards.
