Musicians Face US P-1 Visa Delay
Filed Under Immigration News, P-1 Visa
British musicians who wish to perform in the US are facing mounting difficulties with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services following delays regarding the P-1 visa.
The P-1 is a necessary piece of documentation for foreign acts to travel and work in the US. Part of the requirements for the P-1 is proof that the band or performer in question has been "internationally recognized" for a "sustained and substantial" amount of time.
As a great number of bands achieved success in a relatively short amount of time (thanks to mediums such as the internet), it is proving more and more of a challenge to prove that the bands are indeed prolific and successful and therefore eligible to perform in the US.
