O2 VisaThe O-2 Visa enables the support personnel of an artist or athlete (O-1 visa holder) to accompany and assist the performer in a specific event or performance. The presence and support of the O-2 personnel must be essential to the successful performance of the O-1 visa holder.
O-2 visas are offered to support personnel of O-1 Visa holders in the fields of athletics, entertainment, science, business or education. This status is not applicable to personnel in the motion picture and television industry. The O-2 Visa must be petitioned by a U.S. employer, U.S. agent or foreign employer through a U.S. agent.
The spouse and/or unmarried children under the age of 21 are permitted to accompany the applicant to the U.S., under an O-3 status. The dependents of the applicant must be able to prove immediate family relation to the applicant. Dependents are not allowed to work while in the U.S., although they may attend school or college.
More than one O-2 application may be included on the same petition, if all parties are helping the same O-1 applicant for the same events or performances, during the same period of time and at the same location.

Testimonials“The MVP Law Group is one of the best immigration law firms to work with. Their knowledge and experience have always been successful in getting cases approved. I have been with them for the last four years from my HIB to my green card process. Meetesh and his well trained staff are like a family to me. Any calls and questions are immediately responded to. There hasn't been a single incident when my questions or concerns were never answered or solved by Meetesh and his group. With the immigration laws changing, applicants need a law firm to be on top of their case. Meetesh and his staff are the group you would love to work with. I would highly recommend the MVP LAW Group to any person seeking immigration benefits." |
