No More H-1Bs for Fashion Models Under House Act

On November 5, 2007, Representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY) introduced HR 4080, which would amend the immigration category for fashion models. Currently, fashion models are encouraged to use the H-1B visa to work in the U.S.

Under HR 4080, H-1Bs would no longer be used for fashion models. Instead, these applicants would qualify for visas under the P-1 nonimmigrant visa category, which is used by athletes and internationally recognized entertainers. When the bill is enacted into law, any pending H-1B applications filed by or on behalf of fashion models will be switched to the P-1 visa category.

Under the act, fashion models can still apply for O-1 visas, if they can demonstrate that they qualify for this visa category.
