Roma actor Jorge Antonio Guerrero, who is Mexican, has finally secured a visa to travel to the U.S. to attend this year’s Academy Awards after he was denied three times by immigration officials. NBC News reports Wednesday that Netflix, which distributed Roma, stepped in on the actor’s behalf and helped him obtain a non-immigrant visa.
