Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

Re: GC for Artist

If the artist has a strong reputation there may be an option for a greencard. However, depending upon timing, it may make sense to first apply for a nonimmigrant visa. My office handles visas and greencards for entertainers and artists. If you have further questions please let me know.

Re: GC for Artist

When the alien is already in the U.S., he can change his other nonimmigrant status into O-1 status, if he qualifies as an O-1 alien. This option is not available to aliens who entered the US without inspection or who had overstayed their authorized term of admission under the previous status. You must apply to change/extend your visa and you will need to provide evidence that your employer has filed a petition for a nonimmigrant worker on your behalf. If you have any further questions or need any assistance with this process, do not hesitate to contact us.
