For information about temporary business visas, such as an O visa or P visa, e-mail or call an immigration lawyer at the Law Firm of Timothy R. Bakken at (303) 293-1963.
Artists, entertainers and athletes can come to the United States to perform under a couple different non-immigrant visas, including an O visa and a P visa.
P visas are issued to artists, entertainers and athletes coming to the U.S. to perform or compete. O visas are for individuals with extraordinary abilities and can include artists, entertainers and athletes.
- visa requirements are more stringent than P visa requirements. Although both are non-immigrant visas, a P visa holder must maintain residence in their home country, while an O visa holder has no residency requirement. Generally, O visas are for longer periods of times.
Located in Denver, Colorado, immigration lawyer Timothy R. Bakken can help you evaluate your situation and your goals to determine which visa would be best for you. If you fail to qualify for an O visa, we can help to determine if a P visa or other option is available to you.
We provide prompt, courteous service and over 15 years experience in assisting with your immigration or visa matter. We have helped numerous artists, entertainers and athletes procure a P visa to come to Colorado and the United States to perform or compete.

What You Need to Know About P Visa Applications
P visas are typically issued for a specific duration to coincide with the event(s) in which you are performing or competing. Therefore, it is very important that you detail everything to ensure you are able to stay for the needed duration.
Although P visa holders must voluntarily leave upon the expiration of their visa, while they are legally in the United States, they may seek permanent residency. If this is your intent, please let us know so we may begin developing a strategy to achieve your long-term goals.
We can assist immigrants who are already in the United States with a P visa, as well as immigrants wishing to enter the United States with a P visa.
