Canadian Model on US Website - ???

[chadknowslaw]

Thanks guys!

The model was definitely shot in the US at the producers studios, and I’m pretty sure the last thing this specific studio would do is jeopardize their company by working with a single Canadian model who was not compliant. So...from what you guys have mentioned, he MUST have a dual citizenship and/or a green card, right?

Thanks

No, the model could have a US drivers license or ID card -- and have that ID legally, and the studio would be compliant with 2257.

If they had paid him less than $600 [I think that is still the threshold for reporting] they would not have asked him for citizenship or work documents, so they would have been compliant with just about everything except still hired a non-resident without work permit.
