Any artist coming from abroad to perform in the U.S. needs a visa, and every visa petition needs a petitioner. Ariel Artists has served in the role of agent artist visa petitioner for dozens of performing artists and creative professionals, ranging from musicians to production coordinators. The presence of a petitioner allows those hiring artistic services in the U.S., or those managing it from abroad, to have a trusted party filing the necessary documents in close collaboration with the experienced artist-specific legal services of Immigration Law Office of Rey Hulme. The function of an agent petitioner is two-fold:

• Firstly, as envisaged by the immigration authorities, it is “authorized by the employer(s) to act in place of the employer(s) as its agent” for the limited purpose of filing a single petition on behalf of all the entities looking to make use of artistic services.
• Secondly, it serves as the official point of contact for the immigration authorities to correspond with regarding the case, including receiving, and responding to, notices and requests. In doing so, Ariel Artists only works with attorneys that have a proven track record in artist visa cases and provide reliable and cost-effective services.
