Nonimmigrants

Bakken Law congratulates client Taylor Pardell on recent O-1 approval by Torgrim Landsverk

O-1s are a category of nonimmigrant visas available to individuals with extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business, athletics, or arts.

Taylor Pardell is an extremely talented soprano, actor, performer, and music teacher. In fittingly dramatic style, Taylor received the approval of her O-1 visa just two hours before an important audition in New York City!

We know Taylor has a bright future before her, and we can’t wait to see what she will accomplish next.

Congratulations!

DENVER: In a welcome change, the Department of State will no longer require prior petition approval from CIS for Mexicans applying for professional TN visas under NAFTA.  Mexicans applying for TN visas will now be able to apply directly at a U.S. Consulate or Embassy and following visa issuance apply at a land port-of-entry or airport preflight inspection for admission to the U.S. For more information check this link from the Department of State.
