What is a P-2 visa ?
79
The P-2 visa is available to artists or entertainers, either individually or as part of a group, who come to the US to perform under a reciprocal exchange program between the US and one or more other countries. All essential support personnel are included. The applicant will need to prove the legitimacy of the program by presenting a formal, written agreement between the relevant US and foreign labor or artists' organizations involved in the exchange.
The length of stay for a P-2 visa is typically tied to the duration of the exchange program, with possible extensions if the program continues and remains reciprocal.
The State Department does not maintain a cap on P-2 visas.
