P-1 Visa – Entertainer/Athlete

Published: June 30, 2014 • Last updated: January 7, 2018

June 30, 2014

Aside from a few other caveats, this category is for individuals who do not meet the extraordinary qualification of the O category, but are nonetheless considered outstanding in their field.

Unlike the O category, this category is only for outstanding artists, athletes and entertainers.

For athletes, the athlete or the team must have an internationally recognized reputation in the sport. For entertainers, the P visa is not available for individual entertainers, but only to members of groups with international reputations.

An entertainer or artist is eligible for a P visa individually or as part of a group when they are coming to the United States to perform under a reciprocal exchange program between the United States and one or more countries.

Likewise, the P visa is available to entertainers and artists individually or as part of a group when they are coming to the United States to take part in a program that is considered culturally unique.

"We needed to get one of our Canadian computer systems analysts into the US for a client project. Doug took the time to listen, answered our questions, and walked us through the process, step by step, with great patience. With his assistance our analyst got into the country for the full 3 years allowed. I highly recommend Lightman Law Firm. Doug is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with."

Operations Manager, LeadThem Consulting
"My firm was searching for the right immigration lawyer to assist me in obtaining a work visa. After spending several hours with various lawyers we decided on Mr. Lightman whose honesty and ability to simplify and communicate the complicated jargon of immigration law was unmatched."

-Kristin A.
RSR Partners
"Working with Mr. Lightman was a text book guide rule how attorney-client relationship should be. He was very informative on my situation which made me feel confident. Thanks to his diligent work and preparation, the whole process felt almost too good to be true. Thank you, Mr. Lightman for everything - most of all thank you for helping me get the opportunity to follow my dreams."

-Ivan Bozovic
"As an employer who worked with you to transfer an H-1B employee to our company, your service was extraordinary! You explained to me exactly the process, processed all letters, information and forms promptly with little work from me. What pleased me the most is that you always kept us informed continuously of the status of the process without us having to contact you!"

-Lorraine Elshiekh
Director of HR – Catalyst Inc
"From start to finish Mr. Lightman was there for me and my fiancé helping us understand the confusing visa process. I started off using a do-it-yourself package but quickly realized it was not nearly enough. With Mr. Lightman's assistance I was able to avoid errors that could've cost us the visa."
