Help Me Reunite With My Mom Through My Music
From Passion to Mission
I am an independent musician and visual storyteller based in Los Angeles since 2015. I am currently working to petition myself for an EB-1A visa—a category reserved for individuals with extraordinary ability in the arts. This opportunity would allow me to continue building my career in the United States and take the next step in my life as an artist.
But this journey is much more than professional.
After more than a decade living in the U.S. under pending political asylum, my goal is to change my status, remain in this country, and reunite with my mother—to finally build a life where my family and my purpose can exist in the same place.
What This Process Requires
To qualify for the EB-1A visa, I must present extensive evidence of my work, including:
- Recognition and press coverage
- A strong portfolio of original projects
- Letters of recommendation from established professionals
The process also involves significant legal preparation, documentation, and government filing fees.

FAQ - Why I fled
I am one of more than 7 million Venezuelans forced to leave home as part of the largest refugee crisis in the Americas. Like many others, I carry the weight of separation, uncertainty, and the hope of rebuilding.
Simon, film by Venezuelan director Diego Vicentini about trauma, exile, and the mental burden of seeking asylum while leaving the ones you love behind depicts accurately why I left.
