P Visa Procedures
Before an alien worker can obtain a P visa to enter the United States (1) the employer should obtain an advisory opinion from an appropriate consulting entity (the advisory opinion must be from a labor organization) or show that an appropriate peer group, labor organization, or management organization does not exist; (2) the employer must obtain approval from the USCIS of P petition; and (3) A U.S. consulate must issue an alien a P visa based on the approved petition.
