For immigration attorneys
When your client needs an agent, not just counsel.
Some O-1 and P-1 cases need a US agent petitioner: a client who freelances, tours, consults across engagements, or runs their own venture, and has no single traditional employer to petition for them. If that's the piece missing from a case you're handling, this is where we fit.
The gap we fill
Neither the O-1 nor the P-1 can be self-petitioned, USCIS requires an employer or an agent to file on the applicant's behalf. That's straightforward when a client has one clear US employer. It's less straightforward when they don't: independent professionals, touring performers, and founders working through their own venture all fall into that gap.
Talent Bridges becomes the US petitioner of record in that scenario, so the case can move forward without forcing a client into an employer relationship that doesn't reflect how they actually work.
Where we fit
How we work alongside attorneys
We don't compete with your practice
Talent Bridges is not a law firm and doesn't provide legal advice. We take on the US agent-petitioner role, the petitioner of record, we don't represent clients on the legal side of a case.
The legal work stays with licensed attorneys
Every petition is prepared and reviewed in coordination with licensed US immigration attorneys, from strategy through filing and any USCIS response.
Built for the no-single-employer case
Freelancers, touring performers, founders, consultants, and anyone whose US work spans multiple engagements rather than one employer. If that's the piece missing from a case, this is where we fit.
One point of contact
We manage the agent-petitioner side end to end, so a case doesn't get split across multiple uncoordinated parties.
Questions attorneys ask us
Do you compete with my practice?
No. We're not a law firm and don't provide legal advice. We take on the agent-petitioner role, USCIS requires the O-1 and P-1 to be filed by an employer or an agent, and step back on anything that's the practice of law.
Who actually prepares and files the petition?
Petitions are prepared and reviewed in coordination with licensed US immigration attorneys throughout, we don't file legal work ourselves.
What kind of cases fit this model?
Clients who don't have a single, traditional US employer to petition for them: freelancers, touring performers, founders, consultants, or anyone working across multiple engagements at once.
How do I start a conversation about a case?
Reach out and tell us about the case. We'll look at whether the agent-petitioner route fits before anything moves forward.
One agent. No employer required.
