Entertainers must be part of an entertainment group to obtain a P-1 visa. Individual artists cannot USUALLY obtain a P-1 visa, EXCEPT when joining the rest of their foreign entertainment group already in the United States. Like athletes, entertainers must be "internationally recognized" as outstanding in their area to be granted P visas, and have a sustained period of achievement no less than one year. 

ADDITIONALLY, a minimum for 75 percent of the group's individual members must have a substantial relationship to the group, generally satisfied by at least one year of MEMBERSHIP.
