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!
Note: We practice US immigration law with sharp focus on employment/business immigration and complex immigration matters and related federal court litigation. I know a lot about my area of practice, but I do not know everything. Use common sense.
