The O-1B Visa: How Influencers and Content Creators Can Work in the U.S.

​Content creation has become a full-fledged career, but for creators, influencers, and other extraordinary talent in the arts born outside the U.S., building that career here raises a critical question: what visa actually fits?

​Join Manifest Law attorney Avalon Paul for a practical breakdown of the O-1B visa, the pathway designed for individuals with extraordinary ability in the arts. We'll cover:

• ​Who actually qualifies as a content creator or influencer under O-1B criteria

• ​The evidence USCIS looks for — and how to document a career built on platforms, brand deals, and digital audiences

• ​Common misconceptions about "extraordinary ability" and why it doesn't mean what most people assume

• ​How the O-1B compares to other options, and what a realistic timeline looks like

​Whether you're a creator exploring your options or an agent, manager, or platform partner supporting international talent, this session will give you a clear, actionable understanding of what it takes to work legally in the U.S. as a creative professional.

​Bring your questions. There will be time for live Q&A with Avalon at the end.
