To qualify for P-1 status, an entertainment group or athletic team as a unit must be internationally recognized as outstanding in the discipline, and must be coming to perform services which require an internationally recognized entertainment group or athletic team. An alien who is a member of such a group or team may be granted P-1 classification based on that relationship, but may not perform services separate and apart from the group or team.
An entertainment group must have been established for a minimum of one year. At least 75 percent of the members of the group must have had a sustained and substantial relationship with the group for at least one year and must provide functions integral to the group's performance.
