Q: I’m an actress in the UK and I want to move to Hollywood to pursue my acting there. I have been in many plays in England in the last 10 years and I have been on a few TV shows in small roles. How will I know if I will qualify for the "O" visa for performers? How can I prove "outstanding ability"? what are the requirements?

A: The O-1 Process is very complex and will require the services of an immigration attorney because of the mandated steps and documentary requirements. You can look at the USCIS internet site for nonimmigrant visas, look up the O-1 and it will show you the requirements. You can also visit www.rootlaw.com and look under nonimmigrant visa section for O-1 visas.
