O-1A Visa for Scientists, Researchers, Fine Arts Experts and/or Educators:
The O-1A visa is a non-immigrant visa designated for aliens of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics.
O-1B Visa for Artists, Actors and Actresses, Filmmakers and Outstanding Abilities:
The O-1B visa is very helpful for artists, athletes, entertainers, high-end chefs, and business people lacking professional degrees. There is no prevailing wage requirement, and the O-1B visa may be extended indefinitely. There is also no numerical limit to the number of O-1B visas issued.
P-1 Visa for Athletes and Entertainers:
The P-1 visa for athletes and entertainers provides a great alternative to an O visa petition. P-1 has been expanded to allow minor league and amateur athletes an opportunity to qualify for the visa under certain circumstances, and music bands, circus performers and other entertainers as well.
P-2 and P-3 Visa for Musicians, Artists, Music Bands, Entertainers and their Crew:
The P-2 and P-3 visa for entertainment groups includes groups as small as two persons. One of the applicable requirements for entertainment groups is that at least 75% of the petitioned group must have been together for more than one year prior to the time of filing of the petition. The P-2 or P-3 visa can be used by a wide array of entertainment groups including musicians, dancers, singers and their supporting staff. |
