> Does anyone know on which work visa do models come in then? It can’t be H1B…

The H-1B1 visa is the one that we're mostly familiar with. Specialist occupations that require "[t]heoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and [a]ttainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in a directly related specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for entry into the occupation in the United States."

The H-1B2 visa is for DOD Researcher and Development Project Worker.

The H-1B3 visa is for... Fashion Model

> The position/services must require a fashion model of prominence.

> To be eligible for this visa category you must be a fashion model of distinguished merit and ability.
