New P-4 Visa for Mobile Entertainment Workers: Supporting Fairs and Circuses.
This bill establishes a new P-4 nonimmigrant visa category specifically for mobile entertainment workers, such as those operating and maintaining rides and concessions at carnivals and circuses. The goal is to ensure these seasonal businesses can secure necessary labor when qualified US workers are unavailable, thereby supporting the continued operation of state fairs, local festivals, and non-profit fundraising events. The Department of Labor must certify that the employment will not negatively affect US workers' wages or job conditions.
Key points
Establishes the P-4 visa for temporary workers essential to the operation of traveling carnivals, circuses, and associated concessions.
The visa requires certification from the Department of Labor confirming a shortage of available US workers and protection of US workers' wages.
Aims to stabilize the workforce for seasonal entertainment providers crucial for local fairs and community events.
