rounds around the fire etc.

If the P visa is granted, the P visa worker may travel to the US and may be admitted to the US by an immigration officer at a US port of entry. P visa worker may be admitted to the US
for the validity period of the petition.

the validity period and stay for 10 additional days beyond the validity period.
However, the P visa worker can engage in employment only during the validity period.
