Message: [QUOTE="Consigliere, post: 5434675, member: 559"] International players are in the US on -1 student visas. A student visa prohibits the holder from doing productive work and being paid while in the country other than some very tightly defined exceptions. An international CAN receive compensation for work done while outside the USA however. That is the most common work around. There are some instances of international players reclassifying to visa categories that do allow paid work in the USA such as O-1 used for exceptionally talented individuals and P-1 used for professional athletes on exchange programs. As you can imagine there is considerable red tape involved in that channel and I am not sure how many cases have been granted. [/QUOTE]
