Can I have a Brazilian manager?

The O visa, known for its purpose of attracting individuals with extraordinary abilities in areas such as arts, sciences, education, and sports, has specific rules, especially regarding the sponsorship process and the professional support structure that the beneficiary can have while in the United States.

Regarding the possibility of having a Brazilian manager, it is important to clarify that the O visa does not require the beneficiary to have a representative or manager residing in the U.S. This means that, yes, you can have a Brazilian manager, provided that the entire petition process, documentation, and contractual relationship with the companies or agents representing you comply with U.S. immigration laws and regulations.

Generally, the petition is filed by a U.S. sponsor or agent, and this agent must demonstrate the contractual relationship and the need for the athlete, artist, or professional in question to be accompanied in their commitments and activities while in the U.S. However, even if the management can be exercised by a professional located outside the country, it is essential that all ties, agreements, and supports are duly formalized.

It is worth noting that the presence of an international manager does not change the visa requirements, but the documentation must adequately reflect the beneficiary”s activities and contractual obligations while in the United States.

It is always advisable to remember that following immigration laws is essential for the success of the process. Therefore, having the support of specialized professionals and being cautious of marketing proposals or miracle promises can avoid future complications. Research and seek information from reliable sources, always considering the complexity of immigration matters.

Finally, keep in mind that each case is unique, and analyzing your contract structure and contractual relationships helps ensure that all legal requirements are met. Make sure to keep all documentation in order so that, upon your entry into the U.S. under the O visa, everything is fully in accordance with the requirements established by U.S. immigration authorities.
