Our group is invited to perform at an noncommercial cultural event this summer at Chicago by a U.S. organization. We were told that we need to apply for P3 visa to come to U.S. to participate the event. What kind of documents we need to prepare the P3 visa application? Answer: The P3 visa is for artists or entertainers who come to United States to develop, interpret, represent, teach, or coach in a program that is considered culturally unique, either individually or as part of a group.
