Any strippers ever tried to get a work visa? Even possible?

I just wanted to add that when I still worked for the Member of Parliament in Canada we worked with quite a number of foreign women from a variety of countries who obtained legitimate work visas to perform as adult entertainers or exotic dancers - ie. in strip clubs. ( Most of our work was in regards to visa renewals). Canada has the same requirements before a non-Canadian is hired and there was never any problem for these clubs to prove that there were not enough Canadians willing to work as exotic dancers. These girls were not sex workers, they were dancers, and many of them chose this route as a way to make money to afford an education, or to break out of the poverty back home. It was a means to 'better' their circumstances in life. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that there are not enough American women willing to do the work as well. There seems to be a fairly large demand for this type of entertainer and while many might find it unsavoury, sometimes it is hard to appreciate the need that will drive a woman to take this sort of job as the means to an end unless you have found yourself in similar survival or poverty type situations.

Right on the money!!!! As a society, Americans are intrinsically hypocritical when it comes to sex. It is like Barry Manilow. Everyone finds his music cheesy and many who do so have a CD or two by him stashed in a box under their beds!

So the process would be to find a prospective employer, have them file a form stating they do not have enough qualified/willing entertainers for their shows and that she would be a good cannidate.

Any tips for the paperwork to help smooth the process?

Unless the employer is familiar with the process it might behoove you to get an immigration lawyer involved, to make sure the paperwork is filled out and filed in the proper way.

Lawyers deal with Employment Based Visa's. Not DIY.
