Hi guys, Canadian here! My employer is doing terrible at responding to my questions and the contract is getting close, so I will ask you guys!
So a couple months ago I received a contract offer as a performer for this summer in the US. My employer filed a petition while I was in the US inland, instead of Outland. I informed them I would be going back to Canada before the contract started, they told me this was fine. They still would apply inland. So I came back to the US in May to get vaccinated and everything with my spouse. we got notice that the visa started being processed about a week before I came back. We were requested to provide one more document, which I did during my travels to the US. Now my employer informed me to tell them I was travelling to the US to visit, which is true. Because had I not been approved for my visa, I would just be visiting my spouse for 2 months (we are both performers, and he’s doing the same contract) and would not be working. I entered the US while my visa was processing and had no issues at the border, nor did they ask if I had any visas in process or anything.
so my contract is supposed to start at the end of June and a couple days ago, my employer informed me that my case has been approved. I asked them yesterday what the next step is, and they said “I don’t know, we’re figuring it out”. I am very hands on and I don’t like this response. It’s getting close and I need to know if I need to do an interview or go somewhere to pick it up. I’ve asked them but they’ve gone MIA, probably because they are very busy getting everything ready. But I can’t find much info online for the process of a P1 visa for a Canadian inland. Do I have to request an adjustment of my status? Do I have to go do an interview? Am I going to run into trouble because I left and came back with a visitor visa? I have so many questions that my employers aren’t answering right now when I am supposed to be flying to them in less than a week.
Does anyone have any insight into this process? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
