P Visa for Athletes and Entertainers
P Visa General Information: The P Visa is a Non-Immigrant Visa allowing certain individuals
to work temporarily in the United States. The P Visa consists of four
classifications: P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-4. The P Visa classification covers aliens
that are internationally recognized athletes, artists or entertainers. The
spouse and unmarried children of the P Visa holder may also accompany the P Visa
holder to the United States during his or her duration of stay. The P-1 Visa may
be issued to an individual or to a team/group. The P Visa allows for
individuals that are part of a team or entertainment group to come to the United
States and perform temporarily. Other classifications under the P Visa cover
individuals who perform, teach or coach in culturally unique programs.
P Visa Eligibility Requirements:
- The P-1 Visa classifications cover individuals who compete at an internationally recognized level.
- The P-2 Visa classification is for individuals who are entertainers or a part of a performance group that perform on a reciprocal exchange program with U.S. organizations. Necessary documentation includes formal reciprocal exchange agreements, descriptions of the exchange program and evidence of qualifying skills.
