Question is self explanatory, what visa do porn stars need to apply for to be able to work in the US? I have seen chatter else where that it is either a O-1, which are normally reserved for runway models or a B-1, a temporary business visa. Does anyone have any insight into the matter? Someone that I am a fan of is trying to come to the US to shoot and she's asking for help with figuring out what visa to apply for. I told her to contact the companies who are trying to hire her to refer to their legal council, but that has gone nowhere as of yet. Any help would be appreciated.

What's behind the delay of the companies arranging her visa? Part of the deal to hire her should include arranging the proper permits.
One thing I can say for sure, do NOT come in on a visitor visa. They have ways of finding out that you worked, and she could face an entry ban. Correct me if I'm wrong, but even though the B-1 is a "business visa", it doesn't allow for paid employment, and specifically mentions paid performances.

Well maybe it's because the whole world is cluster fucked due to covid19. Or maybe it has to do with STD testing.
That I cannot answer. I really do think that covid is slowing everything up. I have told her don't come on a tourist visa unless she is being a tourist. I am not sure about that in regards to the B-1 visa. I have a call in to an entertainment lawyer who may be able to help.
She really should be able to sort this out herself.
How much are you being paid for this work?
Ill plead the 5th on that one.

You technically can't plead the 5th Amendment, once you've already begun to answer questions. You have to make that plea right up front, the first thing out of your mouth, or your lawyers mouth, if it's that bad that you need a mouth piece.
