Introduction to the Immigration Visa Process for Artists and Arts Organizations

With Ann Kanter, Esq.

This workshop will provide an introduction to the immigration visa process for artists and arts organizations and answer these fundamental questions:

How does the basic immigration system work for visual and performing artists who are foreign nationals?
What are the obligations of a sponsoring arts organization and what are the costs and time frames?
What are the main temporary visa categories for artists and what is “extraordinary ability” in the arts?
What is a “dual intent” visa and what are the steps to apply for permanent residence and U.S. citizenship?
Will the executive actions announced recently by the Obama administration open any new avenues for artists?
What low-cost resources are available to arts organizations and when is it advisable to consult an immigration attorney?
