As many of you know, a big part of my job is handling O and P US visas for foreign professional athletes and artists traveling to the US to compete/perform/work. Although the recent immigration changes haven't directly affected any of my clients YET, I will sporadically be sharing information I deem important, that can affect both US Citizens, Greencard holders and non-US Citizens looking to enter the US and/or apply for US Visas.

This particular article is pertinent to basically anyone looking to apply for any kind of immigrant or non-immigrant visa and/or enter the US that have been vocal on social media and/or have a public opinion about the current administration, the situation in Gaza, etc...

I strongly disagree with this, I'm just passing along the message.
