Actress/Entertainer Visa?

[funkyfrog]

Hi

Not sure where to post this.

I am an actress in the UK and would like to go over to the USA to hopefully work as an actress.

Does anyone know what i would need:

1) Financially
2) British Union or Non Union Actor Status (Equity)
3) Visa Wise
4) Anything Else.

The most important thing i can think of is being able to financially support myself and not be a burden on America. So i would probably need a job while i'm auditioning for roles.

If anyone can shed some light on this i would be very grateful

thanks

Em

Hi

thanks for your reply.

I did read that page but i did not fully understand it, as it states about Entertainers only going to America for a performance.

thanks again
