P1S- a nonimmigrant visa that allows essential support personnel to work temporarily in the U.S. to support an internationally recognized athlete or entertainment group holding a P1 visa. These support staff, such as coaches, trainers, and technicians, are considered integral to the P-1 visa holder's performance and cannot be easily substituted by U.S. workers. The P1S visa is not a standalone visa and must be directly tied to a P1 visa petition.   

P3S-   a separate visa for the essential support personnel of artists or entertainers who are coming to the U.S. on a P3 visa for a "culturally unique program". These support staff can include individuals like sound engineers, managers, or stagehands who have critical knowledge of the services being performed and are necessary for the P3 visa holder's performance.     

 The P4 visa is intended for spouses and dependent children younger than 21 years old of P visa holders. It allows them to come to the US to live with the family member who is there on a P visa.
