We also partner with cultural institutions, festivals, sports teams, record labels, management, and booking agencies to develop tailored immigration strategies for their talent.
Whether you are an emerging or established artist, entertainer, or athlete entering the U.S. market or expanding your work in the U.S., Siskind Susser can help you develop and pursue an immigration strategy that supports your professional goals.
Our team has extensive experience with the visa categories used across the arts, entertainment, and sports sectors, including:
- O-1 visas for individuals of extraordinary ability in the arts, athletics, and motion picture/television industries, and O-2 visas for their essential support personnel
- P-1 visas for internationally recognized entertainment groups and athletes, and P-1S visas for their essential support staff
- P-3 visas for artists and entertainers performing, teaching, or coaching in culturally unique programs, and P-3S visas for their essential support personnel
- Q visas for participants in qualifying cultural exchange programs
In addition to temporary work visas, we advise on long-term immigration strategies. For individuals with sustained national or international recognition, this may include extraordinary ability immigrant petitions, such as the EB-1A green card category.
