work visa
HI, I am new to this forum. I have few questions related to work visa. I am a visual artist. I recently finished my Masters in Fine Arts. I have a job offer to work as an art teacher for a non-profit organisation. I am offered only 1 hour per week job. What kind of work visa can I apply for?
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you.
work visa for an artist
I cannot think of any visa that could permit work for one hour a week, Puja ji.

I am an amateur singer who
I am an amateur singer who has had an american label interested in carrying my cds (this is my first cd, and i've never been paid for my music before). They intend on having me appear on shows on radio and tv nationally, and to do press, both by doing interviews and performing. Would i qualify to do interviews and perform for national tv shows under a B1 visa, since i am still an "amateur" singer? Or am i NOT an amateur just because a major label is carrying my cd? If i am not an amateur, then what visa can i get cos i don't fit a P or O visa, being a very new singer.
B-1 Visa for amateur singer
Summer, In my view, a B-1 would be appropriate because you are not engaging in any employment that would take a job away from a US worker and you are not getting paid for your appearances. Good luck!

What if you are....
Hello,
What if you are a songwriter who has been signed by a major label to publishing deal and was on an F-1 Visa before that. Can you get your green card now applying for either of these?
i) EB1: People with extraordinary ability in the science, arts, education, business or athletics, professors, researchers and Ph.D. holders etc. falls under this category.
(ii) EB2: This includes people with extra ability in the field of science, arts or business, etc...
Please let me know. Thank you
