P visas include P-1, P-2, and P-3 and are for those nonimmigrants who wish to come to the U.S. to perform in an athletic competition or some other form of entertainment.

Types of P Visas

P visas are generally easier to obtain than O visas. On the other hand, the P visa is restricted to only certain artists, entertainers, and athletes. To be eligible, you must have a residence in another country which you do not wish to abandon.

P visas are categorized as follows:

  • P-1 visa—athletes with international recognition as an individual or member of a team
  • P-1 visa—member of an internationally recognized entertainment group
  • P-2 visa—artist or entertainer coming to perform under a reciprocal exchange program
  • P-3 visa—artists and entertainers coming only to perform, teach, or coach in a culturally unique program

Those with P visas are admitted into the U.S. for the duration of their specific event. It is worth noting that while in the U.S. on a P visa, you are allowed to seek to become a permanent resident.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions


  • I’m a foreign national studying in the U.S., can I stay within the country following graduation?
    To stay in the country following graduation, a student will need to obtain an H-1B temporary worker visa. Typically, graduates who work in a specialty field (such as a medical professional or engineer) will be able to obtain this visa with ease. To ensure that this process moves smoothly, it is recommended that students apply for this visa as early as possible to avoid penalties.
  • Can I become a citizen after I am granted permanent residency?
    Yes! If you live in the country for five years as a permanent resident, you will be able to obtain citizenship through naturalization. To be eligible for this, however, you must have been physically living in the country for at least half of those five years – and must not have left for a time period longer than six months.
  • I am looking to adopt a foreign child – how can I make the process as fast as possible?
    For those who are looking into adoption, but have yet to identify the child that they are interested in adopting, it is recommended that they file an Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition. This will allow for the portion relating to the approval of the parents to be completed by the time the child is chosen so that the adoption process can be expedited.
  • If I become a citizen, what are the privileges that I will experience?
    There are three primary privileges that citizens can experience. These include being able to vote in local, state and national elections; having the ability to obtain a passport; and sponsoring relatives in their efforts to become a permanent resident.
