P Visa for Athletes, Artists and Entertainers

Once you engage us, we build your case: we tell you exactly which documents we need, review each one, and assemble the filing package. This stage moves at the pace documents reach us — the sooner we receive what we ask for, the sooner we can file.

We establish whether the case belongs in P-1A, P-1B, P-2, or P-3. The subcategories carry materially different evidence requirements, and filing under the wrong one is a common cause of delay.

We request the written advisory opinion from the appropriate labor union. This is mandatory for every P petition and is often the longest lead-time item, so we start it early.

We assemble the itinerary of engagements, contracts with venues or promoters, and evidence of international recognition — reviews, rankings, box office or chart performance, press coverage, and awards.

The petitioner or agent files with USCIS. Once approved, applicants abroad apply for the visa at a U.S. consulate and attend an interview.
