Recently, our team was asked a question: “My colleagues and I have been working in a band for over five years, performing in different countries, but have never applied for an American visa for touring. Can you tell me what evidence of our collaboration and fame will be needed to apply for a P-1B?”

We wanna share the answer from our specialists:

21.08.2025 03:10:57 Applying for a P-1B visa, which is designated for members of internationally recognized entertainment groups, requires you to provide substantial evidence demonstrating the group's recognition and achievements. Here’s a general list of the types of evidence you might need: 1. **International Recognition:** - Evidence that your group has been performing together for at least one year and is internationally recognized. - This could include awards or nominations from recognized organizations or media. 2. **Evidence of Sustained International Acclaim:** - Reviews in major newspapers, magazines, or other publications. - Articles or features about the group’s performances in international media. - Documentation showing commercial success (e.g., sales records, chart rankings). 3. **Significant Performances:** - Contracts or agreements showing that your group has performed at prominent venues/events outside the U.S. - Letters from experts in the field attesting to the significance of your performances. 4. **High Salary/Remuneration:** - Evidence that you command a high salary compared to others in your field, such as pay stubs or contracts. 5. **Endorsement Letters:** - Letters from established experts or organizations in the music industry supporting your application and recognizing your achievements and contributions. 6. **Recordings and Releases:** - Information about albums, singles, or other recordings released by the band that have achieved significant sales figures or critical acclaim. 7. **Touring History:** - Documentation of past tours including dates, locations, attendance numbers, and any notable achievements during these tours. 8. **Itinerary for U.S. Tour:** - A detailed itinerary outlining where and when you will be performing in the United States during your tour. 9. **Agent/Manager Support:** - If applicable, letters from agents/managers who can confirm bookings and engagements in the U.S. Make sure all documents are organized clearly and provide translations if any documents are not in English. It's often beneficial to work with an immigration attorney experienced with P-1B visas to ensure all requirements are met effectively.
