B-1 Visa Advisory Letters

There are a number of recognized exceptions to the US work visa requirement for performing artists, yet often, how to utilize these exceptions can be an obscure process—even for immigration officials who review these applications.

With Fanfare Projects’ expertise as a US artist support agency, sponsoring organization, and New York State immigrant assistance provider, we can help assess whether your planned US activities might qualify under recognized exceptions to the US work visa requirement. Artists performing at official performing arts showcases can benefit from utilizing advisory letters from expert organizations like Fanfare Projects to take advantage of these narrow exceptions.

Other Services

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-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.

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.
