P visas are intended for artists, athletes, and other professionals in specific fields and include categories that allow dependents, known as P-4 visas, to enter. Dependents generally include the spouse and children under 21 years old, permitting these family members to accompany the visa holder during their stay in the United States.

Unfortunately, in the case of a fiancé, the P-4 visa does not apply. For a partner to be considered eligible as a dependent, there must be a formal marriage proving the relationship. Only after marriage can the spouse be included as a dependent through the P-4 visa.

It is always essential to strictly follow the immigration laws and regulations of the United States. It is recommended to obtain information through official and reliable sources, as well as consult professionals specialized in the subject, to avoid scams or misleading promises of results. This way, you will be able to make safe and well-founded decisions regarding your process.
