Full Support Package from Amethyst Models

US Visa Application

Citizens of countries who are included in the US Visa Waiver Program can enter the US on an ESTA. However, an ESTA only allows entry for 3 months and cannot be extended.

Through our network of legal professionals and partner companies, we can arrange for you to receive an invitation letter to take part in a business or educational program that will enable you to obtain a B1/B2 visa, which allows entry for 6 months and is valid for 10 years. Once you have arrived in the US, we can explore other options to extend your stay. This includes E1, L1, H1B, J1 and other categories, and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Accommodation in the US

As a newly-arrived person in the US, trying to rent accommodation can be a very stressful process. Many landlords will require background checks, which include an assessment of your credit history. Some will also require references from previous landlords. In some cases, you will also need to put up a large deposit, consisting of 3 months’ rent or more.

We have a large network in various US cities, and we will be able to help you find friendly landlords who offer a more lenient approval process. In addition, we require all our partner agencies to offer the option of free housing to our talents - completely rent-free accommodation in clean, secure apartments.

Transportation

Outside of major cities such as New York and Chicago, public transport is not well-developed in the US. Distances between places can also be quite large. For this reason, the majority of US residents have to drive daily.

We understand that purchasing a car requires an upfront financial commitment, which can be stressful. Additionally, we also understand that it can be quite difficult to acquire a driver’s license, especially if you are not familiar with US driving regulations.

Our partner agencies are required to provide transportation from your accommodation to your place of work on a daily basis. In addition, they are also required to provide transportation from the airport to your accommodation.

Legal Support

Our network of legal professionals is on hand to provide guidance and advice on all legal matters. In emergency situations, we can arrange for you to be represented by a lawyer who will defend your rights.

Security Support

Our network of trained, licensed security professionals is on hand to ensure that your safety will never be compromised. In the event that you face any threats from aggressive or abusive clients, our security professionals can be relied upon to protect you and resolve any conflicts.

Screening and Verification of Clients

One of the biggest issues faced by independent professionals is how to screen and verify their clients. This is a highly laborious process that takes up a huge amount of time, especially when it is necessary to engage in back-and-forth conversations with clients who are uncooperative.

We work only with agencies who have robust verification policies for every client. This means that every single client you meet will be ID-verified. The agency will have their name and address in the event that they act abusively. Moreover, our agencies have access to shared databases of blacklisted clients who have been known to act abusively or improperly with other providers, and will never accept any bookings from blacklisted individuals.

As such, you can rest assured that you will be protected against toxic or inappropriate behaviors from clients - including scamming, drug use, excessive alcohol use and violent conduct.

Marketing Support

All of our partner agencies provide a full range of marketing support. Separately, Amethyst Models also has an independent digital marketing team to provide additional support. This includes areas such as SEO, content marketing, social media marketing, directory listings and review site listings, with the objective of ensuring maximum visibility for you. These services can cost $5,000 or more per month, and represent a very substantial investment. Additionally, we will also provide access to professional photographers, stylists and copywriters to ensure that your content will be top-notch.

Financial Services

The vast majority of your income will be in cash. However, if you require financial services, we are on hand to assist. We can provide shell/anonymous bank accounts, digital payments, debit cards, foreign remittances and transfers, and cryptocurrency exchange.
