P petitions for essential support personnel are organized as other petitions, but with fewer
documents. These include the
alphabetized beneficiary list,
itinerary, and any contracts, together with at least the petitioner's statement
in the accompanying letter
briefly describing a) the position and skills of each beneficiary; b) the
beneficiary's past relationship, if any, to the group; and, c) stating why the beneficiary's services
are essential. This can become somewhat burdensome if there are many such personnel.
