Resignation (voluntary termination)
If a P-3 artist/group resigns early from employment or prematurely concludes participating in the even, the HR specialist must notify an Immigration Specialist so we can notify U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and close the immigration file.
Resigning before the P-3 end date
Lawful P-3 status is dependent on continuing event participation/employment. If an artist’s/group member’s last day of participation/work will occur before the P-3 approval notice end date, they must depart the U.S. on or before the last day or participation/work if there is no way to legally remain in the U.S. Even if there is time remaining on the P-3 approval notice and/or Form I-94 record, they will begin to accrue unlawful presence by remaining in the U.S. beyond the last day of participation/work.
Resigning on the P-3 end date
If the last day of the event/employment will occur on the P-3 approval notice end date, the artist/group must depart the U.S. by the “admit until” date on the Form I-94 record to avoid accruing unlawful presence in the U.S.
If the artist’s Form I-94 shows the granting of an additional 10-day travel status period beyond the P-3 approval notice’s validity, they may stay in the U.S., but may not work during the 10 days. Departure from the U.S. must occur on or before the last day of the 10-day period unless the person can legally remain in the U.S. after employment ends.
If the P-3 artist/group was not granted the additional 10-day travel status period, they must leave the U.S. on or before the approval notice expires or the Form I-94 “admit until” date (whichever occurs earlier) unless they can legally remain in the U.S. after employment ends.

Dismissal (involuntary termination)
If an artist/group is dismissed from UH employment or the UH department breaks the contract and cancels events for any reason before the P-3 approval notice end date, the department must notify an Immigration Specialist.
Lawful P-3 status is dependent on continuing event participation/employment. Unless the artist may legally remain in the U.S. after termination, they must depart the U.S. by the last day of event participation/employment or risk accruing unlawful presence.
The UH department is responsible for the reasonable costs of return transportation to the last place of foreign residence (i.e., an economy fare air ticket) for the artist/group. UH is not responsible for moving costs, dependents’ tickets, or other transportation costs.

Lawful permanent residence is obtained
If an artist obtains U.S. lawful permanent residence before the end of P-3 authorization, the HR specialist must send an Immigration Specialist a copy of the permanent resident card so we can close the P-3 file. No further action needs to be taken.
