What is the P-1B Entertainment Group Member Visa USA

The P-1B Entertainment Group Member Visa is a temporary non-immigrant visa for artists and members of creative groups that have international recognition. It allows them to legally enter the United States to participate in tours, performances, tours, competitions, festivals, and other entertainment events. This visa is ideal for musical groups, theater troupes, circus groups, dance ensembles, television or show teams.
