The P-1 Visa For Athletes and Entertainers

Whether you are a renown athlete or artist coming to work for an organization in the U.S., Pedersen Law will take care of the entire Visa process from start to finish, including providing legal advice to both you and your U.S. employer, obtaining USCIS approval, preparing the case for Visa Issuance at the U.S. Consulate and providing guidance every step along the way…

Overview of the P-1 visa

P-1 visas allow athletes, artists and entertainers to come to the U.S. to perform in specific events, competitions or performances. To qualify, the artist, entertainer, or athlete must be internationally recognized in his or her filed, or as a group and must be sponsored by a U.S. employer or an international employer working through a U.S. agent. P-1 entertainers ( not athletes) must be performing as part of a group and the group must have been established and performing regularly for a period of at least one year. Outstanding athletes may apply for this visa in order to compete in the US, either as individuals or as members of an internationally recognized athletic team. P-1 visas can be issued for up to five years.

Family Members

Accompanying spouses and minor children under age 21 of P- I visa holders automatically receive a P-4 status and are not allowed to work, but may attend schools or colleges.
