What is the P1 visa?
P1A visa requirements
You (or your team) will need to have a contract or offer with a major U.S. sports league, team, or international sporting event in the US.
You or your team must also be accomplished in the sport and well-known internationally. To prove this you must meet at a minimum 2 out of 7 P1-A visa requirements below
You have previously participated in a major U.S. sports league
You have previously participated in an international competition with a national team
You have previously participated in a U.S. college in intercollegiate competition
A supporting statement from an official of a major U.S. sports league or the governing body
A supporting statement from sports media or a recognized expert showing that you or your team is internationally ranked
You or your team has received a significant honor or award in the sport
P1B visa requirements
P-1B visas are for members of groups that have an international reputation and not for individual entertainers.
Your group must have been performing regularly for at least one year.
The group’s consistent international recognition can be shown by either its nomination for, or receipt of, significant international awards or prizes, or meet 3 out of 6 requirements below:
Proof that the group has or will star or take a leading role in productions or events with distinguished reputations
Reviews or other published material showing that the group has achieved international recognition for outstanding achievement
Proof that the group has and will star in productions or events for organizations with distinguished reputations
Proof of large box office receipts or ratings showing the group has a record of major commercial or critically acclaimed successes
Proof that the group has received significant recognition for achievements from organizations, critics, government agencies, or other recognized experts
Proof that the group commands a high salary or other substantial remuneration
Circuses
Circus performers do not need to have been part of the organization for one year to get a P1B visa, as long as the circus has a nationally recognized and outstanding reputation.
Waiver for Nationally Known Entertainment Groups
Groups that have only outstanding national reputations may still qualify if special circumstances would make it difficult for the group to prove its international reputation, such as issues based on geographical location.
