I just got an update message from Association of Performing Arts Presenters regarding update about Artist Visa regulations by USCIS as of Dec 16, 2009. As a Tango producer and organizer, this gives me relief. --------- USCIS Reinstates Multi-Employer Petitioning Process
In response to concerns expressed by the national performing arts community, the USCIS has reinstated the ability of a petitioner to file a single petition for artists coming to the U.S. for an itinerary of events with multiple arts organizations. A November 20, 2009 USCIS memo offers some clarification for petitioners. When seeking visa approval for an itinerary involving multiple employers or venues, the petitioner does not have to demonstrate that it normally serves as "an agent" outside of the petition process.
