No employer. No lottery. No relocation required. The U.S. Einstein Visa is available to artists, musicians, and creatives with exactly the kind of career you've been building.
Most successful African artists don't know this: the U.S. Einstein Visa is available to artists, musicians, and creatives with exactly the kind of career you've been building.
You don't have to quit your current work. You don't have to move to America. You don't need an American employer, a visa lottery result, or a sponsor. You need your professional record, and the right team to document it.
You don't have to move to the U.S. to qualify.
Awards, streaming numbers, media coverage — criteria you already meet.
2026 rule changes will raise the bar. File under current standards.
The EB-1A requires at least 3 of 10 regulatory criteria. For artists with a strong record, Burlington typically identifies the following:
U.S. touring without visa anxiety. No more B-1/B-2 applications, no tour dates at risk.
Direct label and management deals. Work directly with U.S. labels, publishers, and streaming platforms as a permanent resident.
U.S. business formation. Open a U.S. entity, receive payments directly, structure international revenue.
Family sponsorship. Bring your spouse and children as permanent residents.
No employer ties. Tour, record, and collaborate freely.
Structure international revenue through a U.S. entity.
Burlington will assess whether your case is strong before any engagement. We'll be direct.
