P-1 Visa (Internationally Recognized Athlete or Entertainment Group) Bringing World-Class Talent to American Stages and Arenas

Your international reputation opens doors. Let’s open the right one for you.

The world’s top athletes and entertainment groups do not stop at borders, and neither should you.
The P-1 visa is designed for internationally recognized athletes competing at a world-class level
and for entertainment groups with a sustained record of international recognition. Whether you
are competing in a professional league, touring as part of a celebrated group, or performing at a
major event, the P-1 visa provides a dedicated pathway to do it in the United States.

At NeoVita Law Group, we understand the fast-moving timelines of athletic seasons and
entertainment tours. We work efficiently and thoroughly to build a petition that reflects your
international standing and gets you where you need to be.

 

Why Choose NeoVita:
We understand the urgency of sports seasons and performance schedules. We present your
international recognition with compelling, well-organized evidence. We manage every detail of
the process so you can focus on your performance.

 

Who qualifies for a P-1 visa?

Athletes who compete at an internationally recognized level and members of entertainment groups with a sustained, international reputation for at least one year.

Does the entire entertainment group need to apply together?

Yes. The group itself must have the international reputation, though individual members apply on
behalf of the group.

Can an individual entertainer apply for a P-1?

Generally no. Individual performers typically apply under the O-1 visa. The P-1 is designed for
groups.

How long is the P-1 visa valid?

Athletes may receive up to five years, with extensions up to ten years. Entertainment groups are
generally granted up to one year at a time.

Can my family come with me?

Yes. Eligible dependents may apply for P-4 status to accompany you.
