There’s a freelancer’s visa in the US, my previous ECD is applying for it and I’ve just now had to write a reference letter for them as a requirement to their application. Here’s the template:

PARTS OF THE LETTER

1. Introduction about yourself – professional background, achievements i.e. years of experience, awards.
If you have a linked in profile or website, please share it as well.
2. How we know each other
3. Distinguished Reputation of Organisation
4. Leading or critical role – leading, critical and/or key role the person played at the organisation, i.e. an award winning ad campaign, project, client account or new business pitch.

Information about any international or national recognition
The person being asked to serve as a judge or juror of my peers’ work at competitions
Other instances/examples, which elevated his/her reputation in the industry and/or where the person was clearly recognized as a leader or expert in the industry.

Can you get an artist visa? I'm sure other people can tell you more about it, but I've worked with a copywriter who was in the US with one.

It can be difficult because of visas but there’s always lots of opportunities through work. Most places are happy to sponsor visas for someone with a good book, and you also can sponsor your own to appeal to employers!

Dumb question alert: What (or where) is LDR...?

Long Distance Relationship

Thank you SR1... now this post makes sense.

OP, not sure what your background is but Multicultural agencies tend to offer visas.

Good luck!

Really appreciate this guys! Thank you ā˜ŗļø
