This week, USCIS approved a P-1 Visa Petition for an entertainment group
whose lead singer recently died in a fatal accident. The deceased lead
singer's name was also the group's namesake. In addition, with
the the death of this lead singer, adding another lead singer to this
entertainment group would have resulted in USCIS' denying the group's
P-1 Visa Petition due to the fact that at least 75% of the group's
members had not been performing together as a group for at least a one
year period at the time of filing. It must be noted that USCIS approved
this P-1 Visa Petition because we applied for a waiver of the one year
membership requirement for 75% of the group's members. The attorneys
at the Law Offices of Michael M. Felix are thoroughly experienced in obtaining
these waivers for our client entertainment groups. If you or someone you
know is a member of a foreign entertainment group and 75% of the group's
members have not been performing together as an entertainment group for
at least one year, and the members of the entertainment group would like
to apply for a P-1 Visa, please give us a call at
