  • How do we get P-1/P-1S consultation letters without a union?

    My contemporary-dance troupe fuses Afro-Cuban and hip-hop styles. We need P-1 for principal dancers and P-1S for lighting designers. Any tips on consultation letters for a genre without big unions?

    USCIS still requires a peer consultation, but you can:

    • Request letters from Guild of Music Supervisors or Dance/USA confirming your awards and acclaim.

    • For P-1S, get a letter explaining how lighting/projection design is integral.

    • If unions say they have no jurisdiction, document that, as USCIS may waive the requirement.
