In between different visa classifications

[srala 0]

hi everyone,

i was recently hired by a los angeles entertainment company that specializes in new media/youtube/vine to recruit talent also helping them with a convention that is happening in the middle of August. i'm a 22 year old canadian living in vancouver. I just graduated from a program that specializes in entertainment, so i have my associates degree along with dean references.

I'm planning on only doing this job for three months as I have a job in Vancouver that will let me go for the summer and help this company out, as well as help out with an event they are putting together in august. then I will return to canada back in September to continue my job here.

I'm in between H-1B and B-1...and the company isn't big enough for the H-1B but I will be getting paid for the 3 months so it won't qualify for B-1

I don't know what to do or who i should speak to?

I know i have the appropriate requirements for this opportunity but I'm just lost on what classifications i'm exactly in as entertainment requirements are mostly for movie directors, actors or singers..

please help!

Investigate a TN visa.

Do not think an Associates Degree would qualify for TN.

If you have not already done so speak to the prospective Employers Immigration Lawyer.

My job title doesn't fall any of the TN visa lists unfortunately.

So what does the lawyer say?

How about a J? If you're young enough, maybe working holiday visa or whatever it's called now, Youth Experience blah blah blah, or something.

J's require a sponsoring agency.

It is quite likely that there is no appropriate visa category for you and you will not be able to go do this.

We all know what will happen.
