Global Immigration Services for Athletes and Entertainers
What Types of Employment and Business Visa Cases Does Our Law Firm Handle for Athletes and Entertainers?
We specialize in representation and advisement of clients in the fields of athletics and entertainment. From Olympic swimmers to talented musicians, we’re committed to advising and assisting our U.S. and international clients with their immigration and global mobility needs.
- O-1 Individual With Extraordinary Ability Or Achievement: While somewhat uncommon, this visa is for aliens who have extraordinary talent or accolades in the arts, science, business, education or athletics and who need to reside temporarily in the U.S. to continue their work.
- P-1 Athlete Or Entertainer: Are you an athlete or entertainer who does not qualify for an O-1 visa? If so, you may instead petition for a P-1 visa, which would allow you to compete or perform in the U.S. temporarily.
- P-2 Reciprocal Exchange Program: You can petition for a P-2 visa when participating in a reciprocal exchange program between your native country and the U.S. This type of visa is also available for athletes and entertainers.
- P-3 Culturally Unique Program: You may qualify for a P-3 visa if you are an artist or entertainer — as an individual or member of a group — that engages in programs foreign to American culture. This visa can allow you to teach, coach, develop or represent a unique or traditional form of art to United States citizens.
- Global Migration Services: We help businesses and individuals build a strategy and plan to “internationalize” their lives, operations and assets while staying in compliance every step of the way. OLG helps clients develop a turnkey solution for offshore tax planning, dual citizenship, asset protection, and global diversification.
- TN NAFTA Professional: Citizens of Canada and Mexico can work in the United States temporarily under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for a prearranged business trip or other enterprise.
