New! THE ARTIST'S VISA - An Informative INTENSIVE for International Performers in the US with MARIUS BARGIELSKI, Agent/Owner, Metropolis Artists Agency - MAA

Wednesday, September 17, 2014, 7pm ET / 4pm PT

The United States has always been a top destination for artists and entertainers from around the world and has always welcomed entertainers and artists from every genre. Nothing signifies this better than the range of non-immigrant US visa options that are available to foreign national artists and entertainers who want to temporarily come to the US to perform or exhibit their work in short-term or long-term projects.

Each non-immigrant US artist visa option and entertainer visa option has its own applicability, advantages and limitations. It is therefore important that you understand and be clear about the various options you may have, and what purpose each classification has, so that any problems and issue that may arise with the immigration laws in the US can be avoided.

But with so many options, what is best for the actor and how do you avoid these problems and issues?

Come spend the evening with Talent Agent Marius Bargielski of Metropolis Artists Agency (MAA).

Because of his extensive experience in dealing with his international acting clients on legal and immigration issues, Marius is the perfect person to lead this very informative evening.

In this intensive, he will speak about the daily legal challenges faced by international performers in the US and possible solutions to gain legal, working status or citizenship.

He'll cover:

-How to maintain legal status

-Different types of visas – pros and cons

-Common implications

-How to deal with other immigration issues and much more!
