Immigration Services
O-1B Visa
The O-1B Visa for individuals with extraordinary ability in the arts is normally the first work visa an artist will apply for. It is a temporary 3-year visa that is renewable. “Extraordinary Ability” is simply a legal term that means you have achieved some distinction in your field.
EB-1 Visa
The EB-1 is an extraordinary ability visa that leads to permanent residence, also known as a green card. It requires a significantly higher standard of achievement than the O-1B through meeting certain criteria & showing you have sustained acclaim in your field.
Other Immigration Services
While most artists will either apply for an O-1B or EB-1, there are other work visas such as the NIW National Interest Waiver that may suit you better. You may also qualify for permanent residence or a derivative nonimmigrant status through Family Based petitions.
