Personally, I don't know any lawyers who do immigration work. If anyone has done this or knows a lawyer in this area whom they can recommend, I will pass along whatever suggestions you have.
He doesn't need a lawyer. There are several on-line resources where he can fill out the paperwork. He may be eligible for Person in Specialty Occupation (H-1B). But more likely he will use the H-2B - Temporary Non-agricultural Worker. But there are several different visa's he can research.
There are several visa options but the right choice depends a lot on who is his employer while he works in the US, and how he wants to work. All non-immigrant work visas are tied to employment and pet...
Expand commentThere are several visa options but the right choice depends a lot on who is his employer while he works in the US, and how he wants to work. All non-immigrant work visas are tied to employment and petitions must be filed by the employer. If he doesn't want to be tied to a single employer, he could make his own company and employ himself, but that tactic became difficult in the last few years. A good immigration lawyer should be able to figure out these things, but a good one is not easy to find. Each lawyer has his or her favorite solutions and they just try to sell those, and it may or may not be a good solution.

Expand commentThanks to you both. I've forwarded your comments. Through this site and another, we've received a good deal of information, and the names of a number of immigration lawyers who have worked with people in the film biz, so while I'm not discouraging further comments, I do think the filmmaker in question now has enough information to deal with his problem.
Are you the one who does that underwater photography I've heard so much about? Women in flowing evening gowns underwater,...

Hey Ryuji, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here.

Hey Todd, We're very proud to bring to the Stage 32 community an exciting and exclusive event: Rex Pickett - My Life on Spec: The Writing of Sideways. This 6 part series explores the twisted, obstacle filled path Rex travelled while nurturing Sideways from conception to screen. Rex's tale is alternately inspiring and heartbreaking, filled with the highs and lows, the self-doubt, and the paralysis associated with surrendering control of your talent, which should be relatable to any artist. We thank Rex for this exclusive series! It's a gift to the entire Stage 32 community. The intro to the ser...

Hi Ryuji, we've just added a new section to your tool bar - Resources. Here you'll find links to the best acting, filmmaking, and screenwriting resources as well as a comprehensive list of film schools and film festivals. We'll be adding new categories and links regularly. One more thing, you can now find the "Messages" link in your sidebar right under your name. Enjoy!
Hi Ryuji, we've just released a pretty big update that I think you'll be excited about. You can now see posts and updates by everyone in your network right on your own wall. Happy networking!
