As of December 2010, SDC no longer writes O-2 letters for Assistant and Associate Directors and Choreographers. We are confident that a foreign Director or Choreographer coming over to the United States on an O-1 will have no problem choosing a talented and dedicated assistant from the large pool of remarkable artists who live here and are seeking work. Likewise, we will no longer write O-1 letters for foreign assistants and associates who are restaging work that has already been done here if the American assistant is available and willing to take the job.
