Today, I’m going to talk about the P visa. The P Visa is used for outstanding athletes, athletic teams, and entertainment companies with a job offer from a U.S. employer. Several categories fall under the P visa. 

An internationally recognized artist, entertainer, or athlete may enter the U.S. to participate in a performance for a U.S. employer or an international employer working through a U.S. agent. One of the requirements is that the performer must be of international acclaim.

P-2 visas are available to artists or entertainers, individually or as part of a group, who come to the U.S. to perform under a reciprocal exchange program between the U.S. and one or more other countries. The applicant must prove the program's legitimacy by presenting a formal, written exchange agreement.

P-3 visas are available to artists or entertainers who come to the U.S., either individually or as part of a group, to develop, interpret, represent, teach, or coach in a program that is considered culturally unique. The program may be of either a commercial or noncommercial nature.
