O Visa, P Visa - Extraordinary Talent & Entertainment Visas
Experienced Lawyers Based in Dallas
The U.S. welcomes individuals who have exceptional talent into the country to perform, visit, or teach in their respective specialties. To encourage and expedite their entry, the government provides special visa categories for such individuals.
Visas available for those with extraordinary talents:
- The P visa categories make it easier for artists, entertainers, and other members of the entertainment field to enter the U.S.
- P-1 Visas for Internationally Recognized Athletes, Artists, and Performers: Holders of this visa can enter the country to perform or compete at a specific event for a temporary period of time.
- P-2 Visas for Performers or Groups Under a Reciprocal Exchange Program: Groups with as little as two people can apply for this visa and enter the country to perform at an event.
- P-3 Visas Culturally Unique Entertainers and Artists: Artists and performers who have produced work that is culturally unique can enter the U.S. to educate or perform.
- The O visa is intended to expedite entry into the U.S. for individuals with special achievement or ability in their fields.
- O-1A Visas for Individuals of Extraordinary Ability or Achievement in education, science, business or athletics
- O-1B Visas for Individuals of Extraordinary Ability in the arts, motion picture, television, or entertainment industry
- O-2 Visas for Support Individuals Accompanying O-1 Visa Holders (such as assistants, support staff, nurses or other medical staff)
Eligibility for O & P Visas
To be eligible for a P visa, an individual must demonstrate outstanding ability or achievement that is recognized at an international level.
O-1 visa holders are reserved only for internationally-recognized individuals who have made significant contributions to their fields and require a much higher level of achievement than the P visas. Examples of O-1 visa holders include award-winning researchers, world-class athletes, Nobel laureates, multinational business leaders, etc.

I recently had the pleasure to work with Akula & Associates on an Eb-5 application and have to approve them as the go-to law firm for EB5 . I worked with Kavitha Akula, and was impressed by her immense expertise and knowledge on the EB 5 process. She and her team were available at every step to navigate through the EB-5 process, especially to get the appropriate documents from India. I was able to apply for the EB-5 Visa in a timely manner, and the entire process through Akula law firm was easy and stress-free. Kudos to Akula & Associates.- Vishwaroop B.

We are an IT consulting firm. Kavitha helped us to get critical H1 case approvals and saved employees from running out of status which leads them to travel to their home country permanently. Timely response, dedication towards the work, having proper immigration knowledge, solving cases with logical thoughts, and the best team are the positives. Thanks!- Zuven Technologies -

My journey started with Akula & Associates exactly 10 months ago. Came to know about them through a friend, casually called, impressed with their profile and signed up contract for services. Last 10 months we filed several cases and each case they treat like a completely new customer and examine each document thoroughly, advise and make us on top of the things. I truly say sincere THANKS for their great service. I truly love their staff. My paralegal Yezenia is awesome, attorney Toki is wonderful. Yet to work more with GC team, Shirin and Christie, great work experience so far. Last but not least Attorney Kavitha is Great!!! I hope I get the same level of service for me and employees for coming years!!! Good luck to Akula & Associates !!- Venkat C.
