Recently, our team was asked a question: “We want to perform in several US states. Do we need to indicate all the cities and venues in advance in the P-3 application, or is it enough to confirm the first concerts, and the rest can be added later?”

We wanna share the answer from our specialists:

21.08.2025 03:14:27 When applying for a P-3 visa, which is designated for artists and entertainers coming to the United States to perform under a culturally unique program, it is generally required to provide as much detail as possible about your itinerary. This includes listing all known cities and venues where you will be performing. However, it's not uncommon for plans to evolve. Here are some key points to consider: 1. **Initial Application**: At the time of your application, you should include detailed information about confirmed engagements, such as dates, cities, and venues. This demonstrates that there is a planned schedule of events. 2. **Flexibility**: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does allow some flexibility if additional performances are added after the initial application submission. You can update your itinerary by submitting an amended petition once additional dates or locations are confirmed. 3. **Supporting Documentation**: Along with your application, include contracts or letters of intent from the venues or event organizers for each performance listed in your itinerary. 4. **Amendments**: If new performances are booked after you've submitted your application or even after approval, you may need to file an amendment with USCIS to update your itinerary officially. 5. **Legal Advice**: It’s often beneficial to consult with an immigration attorney who specializes in entertainment visas to ensure compliance with all requirements and handle any necessary amendments efficiently. By providing as much detail as possible upfront and staying proactive about updates, you can maintain compliance with visa requirements while allowing for changes in your tour schedule.
