I-1 Visa for Press / Media Representatives

Orlando Immigration Attorney Handles I1 Visas for Press RepresentativesThe "media" or I-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa for foreign media representatives who have a home office in a foreign country and are traveling to the United States to engage in their profession for a temporary time. Some procedures and fees under immigration law, relate to policies of the travelers home country, and in turn, the U.S. follows a similar practice, which we call "reciprocity". Procedures for providing media visas to foreign media representatives of a particular country consider whether the visa applicants own government grants similar privileges or is reciprocal, to representatives of the media or press from the United States. A Central Florida I-1 Visa lawyer from NeJame Law can assist you in evaluating or obtaining your visa.

  • Members of the media engaged in the production or distribution of film will only qualify for a media visa if the material being filmed will be used to disseminate information or news. Additionally, the primary source and distribution of funding must be outside the United States.
