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.
At Fanfare Projects, we are dedicated to supporting culturally unique performers and groups by facilitating their entry into the US through the comprehensive preparation and filing of P-3 and P-3S visa petitions. The P-3 visa is designed for artists and entertainers who come to the US to perform, teach, or coach under a program that is “culturally unique.” This visa allows these cultural ambassadors to engage with US audiences for a maximum of 1 year.
To be eligible for a P-3 visa, artists and entertainers, individually or as part of a group, must demonstrate that their performances are culturally unique and will further the understanding or development of their art form. This visa is ideal for those involved in culturally significant events, such as concerts, theater productions, and dance performances that are traditional, ethnic, folkloric, cultural, and/or specific to a certain geographic region.
The P-3S visa is designed for essential support personnel who are integral to the performance of P-3 visa holders. These individuals must demonstrate that they perform critical support functions that cannot be readily performed by a US worker. This visa is essential for roles such as directors, choreographers, technicians, and other staff members who support the cultural performance.
Fanfare Projects collaborates closely with cultural event organizers, educational institutions, and performers themselves to ensure a smooth visa petition process. If you already have legal representation or another visa petition preparer, we can still support your cultural event by acting as your visa petitioner. We understand the importance of these culturally unique contributions and strive to facilitate your successful entrance into the US market.
