P Visas
(P1 Visa, P2 and P3 Visas - Performing Entertainers and Athletes)

The P visa category is appropriate for group of artists entering the United States on trips of limited duration, athletes and culturally unique artists.

P-3 Visas: The P3 visa is granted to culturally unique artists and entertainers, individually or as a group, coming to the United States to develop, interpret, represent, coach, or teach their particular art or discipline.
