International Fashion Models

Posted By Law Offices of Michael M. Felix || 31-Jan-2013

If you are an international fashion model and you have been signed with an American fashion modeling agency, you will be requiring a work visa. There are two types of work visas international fashion models may qualify for: (1) H1-B Visa and (2) O-1 Visa.

H1-B Visa Requirements

  1. The fashion model must be one of distinguished merit and ability in the field of fashion modeling
  1. The fashion model must be prominent in the field of fashion modeling
  1. The petition must be filed by a US employer or agent
  1. The position offered to the fashion model in the United States must be one where the fashion model will be performing services, events or productions of a distinguished reputation
  1. The US employer must pay the fashion model the prevailing wage for that occupation in the area of intended employment

A fashion model must be prominent in the field and position must require prominence. Prominence means a high level of achievement as evidenced by a degree of skill and recognition substantially above that ordinarily encountered. The person must be renowned, leading or well known.

The H1-B Visa permits a fashion model to stay in the United States for a maximum period of six years. The initial H1-B Visa is granted to the beneficiary for three years with the ability to extend up to a period of six years.

O-1 Visa

A fashion model may also qualify for an O-1 Visa if he/she can prove that he/she is a person with extraordinary ability. http://www.entertainmentvisa.com/Entertainment-Visa-Blog/2012/October/On-Your-Way-to-Obtaining-an-O-Visa.aspx
