Artist Immigrant and Non-Immigrant Visas
with Pamela Forster, Esq.

This workshop will cover what artists who are non-U.S. citizens and non-legal permanent residents need to know about how to apply for and obtain U.S. work authorization. This workshop is for above- and below-the-line entertainment industry professionals, musicians, visual artists, and performing artists. We will cover the eligibility requirements, procedural aspects, and nuances of the applications for the O and P non-immigrant (temporary) classifications, and the EB-1 extraordinary ability and EB-2 exceptional ability immigrant (permanent) classifications. We will conclude with a Q & A session.
