I'm a U.S. citizen and I am currently living in Brazil with my Brazilian wife - we're moving back to the U.S. and elsewhere in this forum we've asked about I-130's and I-129F's and so on.
Now, something else...I've practiced capoeira, a Brazilian fight/dance/art for 7 years. I have a Brazilian instructor who wants to come to the U.S. to teach classes. He would be building a group, possibly with an intent to stay (who knows though, he might go home).
I'm trying to find a way to bring him here, which would enable him both to teach capoeira classes, and to work. He's GOT to be able to work so that he can support himself while his group is growing.
I thought he might qualify under these following visas:
P-3 (Artist as part of a Culturally Unique Programs)
O-1 (Individuals of Extraordinary Achievement)
H-2B (Non-Agri / Non-Immigrant Workers)
1. I would try to get a gym in the U.S. to sponsor him - he could teach classes and/or be a personal trainer
2. There's a Brazilian store in the area that might be able to sponsor him
3. The university in the area might possibly be willing to sponsor
On another forum someone also noted, unfortunately, that his color might be an issue. It was a forum of Capoeira people - and they noted that often times "white Brazilians" suffer fewer problems getting visas, while "black Brazilians" have a hard time. This instructor is black. Is this actually a real concern, or something ridiculous?
I got a lot of answers here for my other questions - I don't want you to do everything for me, I'm just hoping for a push in the right direction.
