I have a L1-A visa, am I a resident alien? I am asking because I want to join ASCAP and the specify: "The IRS requires that ASCAP has accurate tax information on file for all members who are U.S.
citizens or resident aliens. ASCAP CANNOT PROCESS YOUR APPLICATION IF THE W-9 FORM IS NOT
COMPLETED AND SIGNED. Your personal name (not a business name) and Social Security Number (SS#)
must match the name and number as they appear on your Social Security card.
If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident alien, you will need to fill out a W-8BEN Form."

I don't recognize a W-9 or W-8...
