Managing Partner Michael Wildes is pleased to announce that Wildes & Weinberg has secured O-1 visa classification on behalf of talented Dutch music producer and DJ, Vincent van den Ende, also known in the music business as “Avedon.”

Vincent has worked with some of the top producers and artists in the world throughout his career, including major contributions to the most recent Bone Thugs’ album “New Waves.” He has also worked extensively with award-winning producer Scott Storch, with some of the leading musical artists of our time.  We look forward to watching Vincent’s robust career in the music industry continue in the United States!

In order to qualify for an O-1 visa, which allows individuals of extraordinary ability in the arts, sciences, athletics, education or business to live and work in the United States, a foreign national must provide adequate documentation to demonstrate that he/she has sustained national or international acclaim in their field.

In addition, the individual must provide substantial evidence to prove that he/she meets three of the evidence categories defined by statute, as well as a written advisory opinion from a labor union or relevant peer group. The O-1 visa applicant must also show that he/she has an offer of employment in the United States to work in his/her field of expertise (or several offers of employment from multiple sources, along with a third-party Agent to petition on the individual’s behalf and connect him/her to the multiple employers).
