URGENT!!! US Work Visa question
Hey all
does anyone know what the turn around time is for a US work visa coming from New Zealand for a DJ?
thanks much!
From NZ?
ya, from NZ to work in the US
3 Months is pretty standard i’d imagine. Sheet UK citizens can bum around in NZ for 9 months before we deport 'em.
it can take like up to 3 months i think. next time i chat with tim richards i will ask him how long it took for him to get his visa to play last summer.
is there a way to expedite the process?
pretend you are mexican.
Just don’t go to Arizona!
you may be able to do like a rush service which may help speed things up. inversely, you can try going to the US consulate or whatever in NZ and apply in person (usually) in which case, you may be able to get a visa same day.
o friggin sweet. I’ll let my m8 know! there’s an embassy and consulate in Auckland so i think it should all work out! Thanks for the info!! Big ups!
yep. i had to sort of go through this last year when some friends of mine brought tim richards over for a couple gigs in the states.
Applying for a temporary visa for work is one of the most complicated visa processes. Ensure to have a copy of employer’s approval letter prior to the submission of an application form for any type of work visa. Since the number of temporary work visas is limited, professionals and highly skilled workers are given priority. The amount of time permitted to stay in a particular country will depend on the type of visa you have.
