Group means two or more persons established as one entity or unit to perform or to provide a service. The P-1 visa is not for individual performers.
Q: What does it mean by internationally recognised?
A: Internationally recognized means having a high level of achievement in a field evidenced by a degree of skill and recognition substantially above that ordinarily encountered, to the extent that such achievement is renowned, leading, or well-known in more than one country. What other criteria must I fulfill to qualify for a P-visa
You will neeed to have a legal contract with a United States employer or agent and must show evidence that: - The group, as named on the petition, have been performing together for at least a year and that;
- At least 75% of the group members have been with the group for at least a year and provide a critical function for the group.
- The group has received significant internationally recognised awards or prizes, or at least been nominated for them.
- The group will be performing or starring in events with a distinguished reputation, as evidenced by critical reviews, publications, publicity releases, advertisements or endorsements.
- The group has received international recognition and acclaim for outstanding achievements in its field, again to be evidence by critical reviews in newspapers, trade publications or magazines.
- The group has had major commercial or critically acclaimed successes, such as box office receipts, ticket sales, video sales or evidenced by articles in newspapers or trade journals.
- The group is recognized for its achievements, by organizations, critics, government agencies, or other recognized experts, whose authority must be authenticated.
- The group commands or will command a high salary or other substantial remuneration for services comparable to other groups similarly situated.
Q:Are there any exceptions or other types of performances eligible for a P-1 visa?
P-1 Visa Assessment
Yes they have their own visa class - the P-4. They may also enter the United States to join the P-1 visa holder at a later date and can travel freely in and out of the country.
No, P-4 holders are not allowed to seek employment. If they wish to work they must apply for a different visa class.
A: If you an Athlete interested in competing in America on an P-1 visa fill in an enquiry form to see if you qualify.
Ok those lines I have highlighted are important. Not sure if JYJ's agent has overlook at these clauses or not. They need to be working or performing together for at least a year. As a performing group DBSK yes but not JYJ. And I think the third line might have put their application for working visa on a halt as JYJ have not been recognized by the Government Agencies in Korea as such so I guessed.
