P-1/P-1S Visa Petitions

Fanfare Projects specializes in preparing and acting as petitioner for P-1 visa petitions for performing groups or ensembles, ensuring a seamless and successful application process. With a deep understanding of the unique needs of artists, we provide personalized guidance and support at every step.

P-1 visas are for members of internationally recognized entertainment groups, such as bands, orchestras, or theater companies.

P-1S visa applicants can be authorized to work in the US in support of a principal P-1 group

At Fanfare Projects, we specialize in facilitating the entry of internationally recognized entertainment groups into the US through comprehensive preparation and filing of P-1 and P-1S visa petitions. The P-1B visa is specifically tailored for members of entertainment groups that have been recognized internationally, allowing them to perform in the US for a maximum of 1 year.

Who Qualifies for a P-1B Visa?

To be eligible for a P-1B visa, the entertainment group must demonstrate international recognition as outstanding in their discipline for a sustained period of time. This recognition can be established through various accolades and forms of public acknowledgment.

Key Eligibility Criteria Include:

  • Recognition and Awards: International prizes and awards, media coverage, and letters of recommendation from prominent figures providing detailed insights into the group’s impact on the field.
  • Leading Roles: Participation in a major or headline role in important productions or events, including notable albums, festivals, broadcasts, events, etc.; or for important organizations or establishments, including notable venues, labels, companies, etc.
  • Commercial or Critically Acclaimed Successes: Proof of success in the field through record sales, streaming numbers, scored reviews, or other achievements.
  • 1-Year Requirement: Proof that at least 75% of the group have been performing together for at least one year.

P-1S Visa: Essential Support Personnel

The P-1S visa supports essential personnel who play a crucial role in enabling P-1B visa holders to perform in the US. These individuals must prove that their skills are essential to the group’s performance and cannot be readily performed by a US worker. This visa is crucial for supporting personnel such as tour managers, sound engineers, lighting designers, and other technical or creative staff integral to the performance.

Our Role

Fanfare Projects works closely with entertainment agencies and entertainment groups themselves to ensure a seamless visa petition process. If you already have legal representation or another visa petition preparer, we can still support your US tour or event by acting as your visa petitioner. We understand the complexities of these applications and strive to simplify the process.

Other Services

We’ve got years of know-how dealing with temporary US work visas and other immigration needs for the most experienced and demanding artists on the planet.

O-1/O-2 Visa Petitions

O-1 visas are for individual “artists of extraordinary ability” with strong career history and sustained national or international acclaim. O-2 visa applicants can be authorized to work in the US in support of a principal O-1 artist.

P-3/P-3S Visa Petitions

P-3 visas are for “culturally unique” artists or groups. “Culturally unique” is usually interpreted as art that is distinct to a specific geographic place, cultural or ethnic tradition, or group of people. P-3S visa applicants can be authorized to work in the US in support of a principal P-3 artist or  group.

Consular Processing

Once a visa petition is approved, we can assist you in completing the US government’s DS-160 application form and arranging your visa interview or mail-in procedure at your local US consulate.

Let's Talk

If you're an artist with work opportunities in the US and don’t know where to start, we understand. As a New York licensed immigrant assistance provider, we are here to support you. We stay current with the latest technologies and management techniques to simplify the visa process, making your journey to the US smoother and more manageable.
