Summary

U.S. Immigration Attorney Needed – Initial Legal Assessment for K-Pop Artist Visa Case We are looking for an experienced U.S. immigration attorney who specializes in U.S. visa law, inadmissibility issues, and consular processing. Our client is a well-known Korean K-pop artist who wishes to travel to the United States for future professional activities, including potential performances and entertainment-related engagements. The case involves a prior criminal conviction in South Korea related to simple marijuana use. There was no trafficking, no sale, no distribution, no organized criminal activity, and no violence. The official court judgment clearly reflects these facts. We are aware that U.S. immigration law treats controlled substance cases differently from many state laws, and we are seeking an attorney who can provide an objective legal assessment based on the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), Department of State guidance, and relevant immigration practice. Documents Available * Official Korean court judgment * Certified English translation * Apostille (if required) * Criminal record documents * Additional supporting documents upon request Scope of Work (Initial Assessment) We would like a thorough legal assessment addressing the following: * Whether this conviction creates inadmissibility under U.S. immigration law. * Whether the specific facts of this case may affect the legal analysis. * The most appropriate visa strategy (B-1/B-2, O visa, P visa, or other options). * Whether any waivers or alternative legal strategies may be available. * Recommended next steps for maximizing the likelihood of visa approval. Budget This Fixed Price contract (USD $1,000) is only for the initial legal assessment. If your analysis concludes that there is a viable path forward, we fully intend to retain the selected attorney for the complete visa process, including strategy, document preparation, waiver applications (if necessary), and representation before the appropriate U.S. authorities. We expect the follow-on engagement to have a substantially larger budget and are seeking a long-term attorney-client relationship rather than a one-time consultation. Ideal Candidate * Licensed U.S. Attorney * Extensive experience in U.S. immigration law * Experience handling controlled substance or criminal inadmissibility cases * Experience with B, O, and P visas * Experience with U.S. consular processing * Strong legal writing and strategic analysis skills When applying, please briefly describe your experience with similar cases and explain why you believe you would be a good fit.
