Many people believe that there is a minimum required salary to file for an O-1 Visa but is there any truth to this?
At Yao Law Group, we almost always file digital marketers, social media managers, and traditional marketing specialists as O-1Bs and therefore as creatives.
O-1B visas are temporary work visas that allow those in the arts, motion picture, or television industry to work in the United States.
The O-1 Visa, also known as the Artist Visa, is complex and can sometimes seem intimidating. Here you have the top 3 Q/A about O-1.
When you think about Artist Visas, you probably envision actors, singers, and dancers. Tattoo artists are one of non-traditional artists who qualify for the O-1B visa.
If you cannot meet the one-time major achievement criterion, such as an Oscar, Emmy, or Director’s Guild Award, you can still meet a minimum of three out of six criteria.
Within the arts, it is sometimes difficult to stay within one profession. Sometimes as a multidisciplinary artist, you work on multiple different types of artistic mediums.
Testimonial letters are used in both O-1A cases and O-1B cases. However, in O-1B cases, there is a specific evidentiary criterion called “Significant Recognition”.
The O-1 Visa is a very complex but very rewarding visa. It can sometimes take months to develop a strong petition.
