We’ve got years of know-how dealing with temporary US work visas and other immigration needs for the most experienced and demanding artists on the planet.

What We Do

We’ve got years of know-how dealing with temporary US work visas and other immigration needs for the most experienced and demanding artists on the planet.

O-1/O-2 Visa Petitions

O-1 visas are for individual “artists of extraordinary ability” with strong career history and sustained national or international acclaim. O-2 visa applicants can be authorized to work in the US in support of a principal O-1 artist.

P-1/P-1S Visa Petitions

P-1 visas are for members of internationally recognized entertainment groups, such as bands, orchestras, or theater companies. P-1S visa applicants can be authorized to work in the US in support of a principal P-1 group.

P-3/P-3S Visa Petitions

P-3 visas are for “culturally unique” artists or groups. “Culturally unique” is usually interpreted as art that is distinct to a specific geographic place, cultural or ethnic tradition, or group of people. P-3S visa applicants can be authorized to work in the US in support of a principal P-3 artist or  group.

B-1 Visa Advisory Letters

For certain industry events and showcases like South by Southwest, you may be able to travel to the US and perform on B-1 visitor status. We can evaluate whether this is a possibility for you, and help ensure your plans go smoothly by providing an advisory letter.

Consular Processing

Once a visa petition is approved, we can assist you in completing the US government’s DS-160 application form and arranging your visa interview or mail-in procedure at your local US consulate.

"Fanfare Projects delivered the goods in a timely, professional , upfront and dedicated manner. Straight to the point and always accessible, I would recommend them in helping petition for temporary U.S. work visas for any artists performing in the US. Doot doola doot doo ... Fanfare Projects!"

Celebrity Interviewer
“Working with fanfare - and David particularly - was easy, a total contrast from some previous experiences that i've had when dealing with US visas. Also, cost wise, they were considerably cheaper than the competition which, for a band on an eternal budget like ourselves, was a life-saver. I can't recommend highly enough.”

“David Amar and the gang at Fanfare Projects did an amazingly painless job for me. They gave me accurate processing times and good rates. Whenever I mention my experience with other O-1 visa holders they always ask 'Who did your petition!'”
