Talent moves globally, and so do productions. Our immigration practice helps artists, entertainers, athletes, executives, and production companies navigate the U.S. immigration system so that careers and projects are never derailed by visa problems.
We regularly secure O-1 visas for individuals of extraordinary ability in the arts, entertainment, and athletics; P visas for performers, artists, and athletic teams; and supporting classifications for essential crew and support personnel. We also assist with EB-1 green cards for individuals of extraordinary ability, employment-based permanent residency, and immigration strategy for international productions filming in the United States.
Entertainment immigration is a specialized field with demanding evidentiary standards — petitions must document acclaim, awards, press coverage, and industry recognition in the precise ways adjudicators expect. Our attorneys know how to build persuasive petitions, work with unions and peer groups on required consultations, and manage tight production timelines. When your project or career depends on being in the country legally and on schedule, we make it happen.
