Requirements For Getting P-3 Visa As An Artist or An Entertainer
United States welcome artist or an entertainer from across the seas to be a part of their
regular cultural unique programs under its P-3 classification. Any artist individually or as
a part of a group can visit America to perform or present his/her art which could be
either traditional, ethnic, cultural, folk, musical, theatrical or artistic performance or
presenter. Besides, America also welcomes artists for participation in any cultural event
or events that promotes and develops an understanding of your art form. The program
can be either commercial or the non-commercial in nature.
Any US employer or a sponsoring organization should submit Form 1-129 for non-artist.
If a petitioner is an agent filling the form of multiple employers or groups, he should
verify his authenticity and is authorized to act as an agent. The specific conditions of an
agent can be found in the Agents and sponsoring filling as Petitioner for the O and P Visa
Classification.
The form should be accompanied with the documents like written consultation form
from a labor organization, a copy of contract that must have been signed between the
petitioner and the beneficiary or the summary of the terms of conditions or an oral

agreement between the petitioner and the beneficiary, a copy of an explanation of an
event, affidavits, testimonials or letters from recognized experts as a proof of your
authenticity and your credentials and/or documentation that your program is culturally
unique. In case there is any event or performance in multiple areas, an itinerary with
the list of the dates of the events and location needs to be submitted.
Any of your spouse or unmarried children under age 21 if accompanying will be offered
the P-4 visa. They cannot be employed but can join any school or college. An artist can
also be accompanied by a support personal who plays an important part of your group
as an additional support. He could be your trainer, scout, coach or any other team
official or assistant. In this case a US employer need to file a separate Form I-129 for
support personnel which should be supported with documents like a consultation form
from an authorized labor organization, a statement of his previous and current skills and
his experience with P-3 artist, and a copy of contract between the support person and
employer or a summary of the terms of conditions on the basis of which a support
person has been employed.
