White Paper on Artist Mobility to the US

Since 2015, Tamizdat publishes The White Paper on Artist Mobility to the US, a data-driven legal analysis of the issues the international performing arts community encounters with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and Department of State. The Artist Mobility White Paper addresses more than 50 pervasive problems with the US artist visa process, identifies the legal authority at the root of each problem, and recommends revisions to the relevant regulations and manuals. The Artist Mobility White Paper provides a comprehensive roadmap for improving the US artist visa process, and has guided productive dialogue with both USCIS and DOS. The Artist Mobility White Paper has been endorsed by a wide range international GOs, NGOs, and organizations in the private sector. For a list of the endorsers, please click here.
