How to go to the U.S.?? Help!!
Hi gang, I'm an experienced Canadian model and I'm trying to propel myself to NYC and LA within the next year. I would like to sign with a U.S. modelling agency and move down to the States so that I can eventually move out to Hollywood to pursue my acting aspirations. IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME OUT WITH INFO REGARDING THIS PROCESS, PLEASE DO..... I know you need something like 20 tears, an agency willing to sign you etc.... but I'm not clear on the particulars. Much thanks and love, Marco Aug 30 06 10:34 am Link mgrazz wrote: Hi Marco, Aug 30 06 01:08 pm Link Oh, A couple more things, that could help you to "get an idea" You have to provide a proof of: achieving national or international recognitiona and acclaim for outstanding achevement ih your field, as evidenced by reviews in major nrewpapers, trade journals, magazines, or other published material Iagain that is just a matter of wording if you pictures where published - that's not a problem) that you performed and will perform services as a fashion model for employers with a distinguised reputation (same thing) recieved recognition for significant achievements from organization, critics, fashion houses, modeling agencies or other regonized iexperts in the field of fashion ( same B/S) commands a high salary or other substantioal remuneration for services evidenced by contracts or other reliable evidence. (now that would be tricky, but again a lawyer would know - there are a few things that they can do, because the salary is a very various thing depending on the area you'll be located in the U.S.) just to give a heads up, would not get a lawer either in NY or CA.

But if he could prove that he is an outstanding worker (model) he could get into EB1 category, that way he'll get it withing a year.

I'd suggest you take a trip to scout for possibitlites, hook up with an agency and let them handle all the paperwork for you to come and live here permanently. If you go any other route you risk falling under the fraud loupe and risk PERMANENT deportation from US. That would blow your chances of getting a legit work permit or Permanent Resident Card (green card). BTW USCBP and USCIS is cracking down on those phoney H1B's that claim to be with an agency but in reality are NOT. Just be carefull (not that anyone from USCBP of USCIS is watching these boards).
