U.S. AGENT SERVICES

---

If an individual requires an O-1, O-2, P-1, or P-1S nonimmigrant visa for work in the United States, The Modena Group can act as the U.S. agent and file a visa petition for you, if necessary.

A foreign employer cannot directly file an O-1/O-2/P-1/P-1S I-129 petition with USCIS; they must use a U.S. agent to submit the petition on their behalf. 

The regulations allow agents to be petitioners in the following scenarios:

• A U.S. agent can file for traditionally self-employed workers, or workers who use agents to arrange short-term employment with numerous employers
• A foreign employer who authorizes an agent to act on his/her behalf

A U. S. agent may be:

• The actual employer of the beneficiary
• The representative of both the employer and the beneficiary
• A person or entity authorized by the employer(s) to act in place of the employer(s) as its agent 

Yes. The Modena Group can file the I-129 petition on behalf of multiple employers (foreign and/or domestic) with a single petition. This relationship is called 'serving as the agent on behalf of multiple employers' and saves the client the time and expense of filing multiple petitions for each employer they work for in the United States.

Contact us below for more information. While The Modena Group is not an immigration law firm, we work closely with leading law firms in the United States who oversee the I-129 filing process and review all materials before they are submitted to U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS). We are happy to refer you to an immigration attorney.
