American immigration law establishes a certain procedure for entry and stay in the country for athletes. However, to do this, it is not enough to apply for a visa at the American embassy yourself. Representatives of the host country must also confirm the need for the athlete to come to the country.

The lawyers and attorneys working with The Law Office of Gregory Krasovsky will be able to assist you in obtaining the following categories of visas for athletes:

 

• category P-1 visas - designed for athletes and artists who participate in competitions or perform at an internationally recognized level, but who do not meet the requirements for Class O visas;
• P-3 visas are for support personnel (athlete assistants);
• P-4 visas - issued to spouses and children of an athlete.

 

Please note that accompanying family members who are holders of a P-4 visa category, for accompanying close relatives of an employee (spouse, children under the age of 21), the possibility of obtaining an O-2 visa is also guaranteed. P-4 visas do not grant the right to work in the United States. 

 

There are also several notable benefits that are provided with a P-1 visa:

 

• the possibility of moving to the United States, official employment in a professional sports team, decent wages;
• valid for up to 5 years with the right to extend from 3 to 10 years;
• no quotas for issuing visas (as opposed to, for example, from the H-1B visa);
• In addition to the athlete himself, employees of his support staff (coaches, assistants) can obtain a visa.

 

However, the procedure for issuing visas of this category is quite complicated, because the US immigration law has many nuances, especially considering that American law does not apply to the civil law system. In addition, for the correct processing of a P-1 visa, real confirmation is required that the applicant is worthy of obtaining a P-1 visa, meaning, his status and achievements are internationally recognized. In addition, it is necessary to obtain the permission of the host country (the organizing committee of the competition or the management of the sports team). Also of great importance is the issuance of a visa on a specific date in order to be in time for the competition. Therefore, the process of obtaining an American P-1 visa is quite time-consuming and costly. In this case, it is necessary to fill out a certain number of documents and pass an interview at the consular organization. Of course, you can get P-1 visas yourself, however, qualified legal assistance will eliminate the risks when applying for a P-1 visa and significantly speed up the process of obtaining it, which is very important, since delay in obtaining this visa can adversely affect your future career.
