Free Webinar: O-1 Agents

Friday, September 17,2021 | 1:00pm ET – 2:00pm ET

Via Zoom

Join us on Friday, September 17th at 1:00pm ET for a lively and informative webinar on the subject of O-1 agents. In contrast to most nonimmigrant visa petitions (which must be filed by a US employer), O-1 petitions for “aliens of extraordinary ability” can be filed by an agent, operating in various capacities.

Who should attend: attorneys interested in/working on O-1 petitions, agents, and individuals interested in attaining O-1 status through an agent.

Topics will include:

Background on O-1 Agents & Regulatory History
O-1 Agent Regulatory Framework (including the difference between immigration agents and talent agents)
O-1 Agent Paradigms (including the unique definition of “employer” in the O-1 context, and the various models under which agents may file O-1 petitions)
Discussion / Q&A: Please submit written questions in advance to [email protected].
