Genevieve Goulet Instagram – MY USA VISA COMING TO AN END
(Sorry, long text)
On August 23, 2024, my O1A visa that allows me to work as a performer and producer in the field of professional wrestling will expire.
Since US immigration has all the documentation that proves that I’m eligible for such a visa for Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement, renewing it is a possibility.
However, it is the type of visa where you need to provide names of promotions and owners, as well as possible itineraries (dates). This means that I need proofs that I’ll be working such as a signed letters that states possible dates of work or at least, an idea of how many times I could work.
Ex: “We produce shows every month and would love to use so and so as much as we could”.
Since I got the visa, many things changed. I was supposed to be a producer and wrestler for NWA’s Empowerrr, but the project never took off. Then, there was Ring of Honor. I was introduced as a wrestling analyst during the pandemic but when the borders finally opened, ROH was sold, and everyone was let go. I didn’t even get to experience one show live.
However, I could still work for independent promotions. I did a lot of shows at first but last year, I ended up doing only 10 shows. Now, I don’t have anything planned at all in the United States for 2024.
It won’t surprise you if I tell you that many who were supposed to book me on a somewhat regular basis are not. It’s wrestling and it happens all the time. I’m also not dumb as I know some are not booking or talking to me anymore just in case it would ruin their chances/ relationship with AEW. I knew there would be some repercussions when I came forward with my personal story and stories from inside talents, since they are not allowed to talk. (OK, I admit that I never expected a coordinated online attack that would result in many people telling me to kill myself). It is what it is. I won’t change my story and lose my integrity for bookings, or anything else for that matter…
