      Only if Rick has diplomatic connections, Max has got the invites. The embassy didn't even look at them when reviewing his application. The problem is he was denied a visa.

      He will need to hire a US immigration Attorney, and reach out to American Musicians to vouch. Sadly, with relations between the 2 countries, if Max has even ONE relative in the Govt, he will be denied. But they are also denying people for no reason as well. I personally know multiple Russian musicans here on work visa's, but it was a major hassle, and they needed legal representation to get in. If Max needs immigration legal help, I can provide a great legal counsel that specializes in Russian immigration here to the States. But yes, it will not be easy going the "legal" route.. Hilarious cuz our current admin doesnt give a crap about everyone just walking across our southern border.

    Dude, no reason to ever get specific with those guys. The key to those interviews is to have simple answers to all their questions. I'm not surprised they had no clue what NAMM is. If you would have said Disneyland you might have had an easier time (don't say that cuz they'll ask to see tickets). It calms them down to see a round trip ticket, a letter of sponsorship from a friend saying they'll be financially responsible for you during your trip (as chatgpt how to write it), a clear address where you'll stay, and bank statements showing you have enough money to cover your trip. Things to avoid saying are anything that makes them think you're there for business. I'd probably avoid mentioning your partnerships with said fractal peoples :)

    If you are invited to work for i.e a vendor at Namm, they should apply for a Visa for you, and then you will probably have an interview setup with an American embassy, if your Visa is approved.

    I'm Australian and used to work on cruise ships sailing out of US ports. One year I came to the US to visit friends for a few weeks before joining the ship. I had a C1/D visa (I think from memory), but entered under the 'Visa Waiver Program' because I guess I was a little more dumb than I am now. Well immigration did not like that one bit and they sent me for an interview. The clown immigration officer shouted at me for asking a simple question and told me I was not allowed to speak. That was 20 years ago, and I live in the US now. Who'd have known I could have just walked across the border in the last 4 years and been given a shit ton of money?

    Max you have to apply for tourist visa not business visa. Big difference, purpose of your travel, assist to music trade show period. US embassy needs to be sure you are going and have no intention of staying in the territory. Have clear short answers, where you staying hotels, roads, when you're leaving etc. You show them the invitation only if they ask for it. It's more important to let them know you have a stable life in Russia and have no plans to stay in the US
    Hope this helps

      ​@@MaxOstrothe thing with B1 visa is the possiblity of a monetary transaction during your visit, meaning you're getting paid, or your paying someone, or your are selling something this only means you need to pay taxes which is a whole different deal. I've been traveling and attending trades shows in my field (engineering) for the last 20 years B2 is the easiest way to go in and out of US for this sort of things. Thanks for sharing your talent buddy keep it up.

    Dear Max, I wouldn't say that your art gives life impetus to people who have lost body parts and are dying from incurable cancer. You just can't imagine how many people are inspired by your art. Please play and publish your music!

    Will it be better if you apply a work visa instead? Did the company invited you also sponsor/pay you?
    A lot of Americans probably don't that many countries not only russia, it's quite hard to get a US visa.
    -Also, your age might also be a potential issue; I heard that it is more strict for underage to get into the US...-

      actually the thumbnail is a bit misleading. It's US denied your visa application, not about NAMM.

    Ask those companies to contact their state senator requesting them to contact the US consulate in Russia, explaining the reason for your trip and letting them know the details of your situation.
