Las week,
DJ Mag released its annual "Top 100 List of DJs" for the 2012 year. DJ Mag is an influential, internationally recognized,
electronic dance music magazine. Every year DJ Mag releases its "Top
100 List of
DJs" which features
Producers and
DJs or
Disc Jockeys from all around the globe. DJ Mag itself is an English publication and
has an American sister publication called
DJ Weekly.
Since the
electronic dance music scene is a growing trend here in the United States, it should be noted
that the vast majority of the
DJs or
Producers featured on this list have performed and will continue to perform in the
United States. It is also important to note that the vast majority of the
DJs or
Producers on this list are originally from a country outside of the United States.
Have you ever wondered how these international
DJs and
Producers are allowed to perform in the United States?
In order to perform legally in the United States, most of these international
DJs and
Producers have obtained an
entertainment visa. There are two types of
entertainment visas that international
DJs and
Producers can obtain. The type of
entertainment visa given to international
DJs and
Producers depends on whether the individual is one who possesses
extraordinary ability in the arts or whether the individual belongs to an
internationally recognized entertainment group. If a
DJ or Producer is one who possesses extraordinary ability in the arts, then he/she may
obtain an
O-1 Visa. If a
DJ or Producer belongs to an internationally recognized group, then he/she and all of
the group's members may obtain a
P-1 Visa.
With
electronic dance music's recent growth in the United States, there is a demand for more
DJs and Producers. We know that there are hundreds of
international DJs and
Producers who did not make DJ Mag's "Top 100 List of
DJs," but will nonetheless still qualify for an
O-1 or
P-1 Visa. If this is the case for you, and you are still in need of an
O-1 or
P-1 Visa, give our office a call. At the Law Offices of Michael M. Felix,
we specialize in obtaining
O and
P Visas for our clients. With 99.9% of our
O and
P Visa cases having been approved, it shows that we are extremely successful
in obtaining
O-1 and
P-1 approvals from
USCIS (immigration).
We offer a free consultation and will review your publicity at no charge.
