O1 Visa for Aliens in Motion Pictures and Television
The O1 is a renewable short term visa (1-3 years) that enables the alien to quickly travel and work in the US for special assignments. Under a system called Premium Processing, US Immigration (USCIS) will only take about two weeks to process these applications. However it may take us 4-8 weeks to gather and prepare the case. So planning things out very early is essential. You never know when an opportunity may come knocking.
O1 Checklist: If you could score at least 3 from these 7 options, even at a stretch, then this would be an excellent start.
