P-1 Visa Eligibility Requirements

We Help Internationally-Recognized Individual Athletes

You must be coming to the United States to participate in a specific athletic competition in a sport in which you are internationally recognized. You are internationally recognized if you have a high level of achievement in a sport, demonstrated by a degree of skill and recognition substantially above that ordinarily encountered. Your achievement must be renowned, leading, or well-known in more than one country. The competition(s) you wish to participate in must have a distinguished reputation and be at an internationally recognized level of performance such that it requires the participation of an internationally recognized athlete.

We Help Internationally-Recognized Athletic Teams

You must be coming to the United States to participate in an athletic competition with a team that, as a unit, has achieved international recognition in the sport. The competition in which your team is participating must have a distinguished reputation and be at an internationally recognized level of performance such that it requires the participation of an internationally recognized athletic team.

We Help International Collegiate Student-Athletes Who Are Getting Ready to Graduate or Who Have Recently Graduated

The P-1A visa classification also applies to international collegiate student-athletes who have represented their countries in international competition or who have achieved outstanding successes while competing for their colleges or universities, individually or as part of an athletic team.

We Help Amateur Athletes or Coaches

You must be coming to the United States to perform as an athlete or coach as part of a team or franchise that is located in the United States and a member of a foreign league or association. The foreign league or association must meet the following requirements:

  • The league or association must consist of 15 or more amateur sports teams;
  • Participation in the league must make players temporarily or permanently ineligible under National Collegiate Athletic Association rules to:
  • Earn a scholarship in the sport at a U.S. college or university; or
  • Participate in the sport at a U.S. college or university;
  • The league or association must be the highest level of amateur performance of that sport in the relevant foreign country; and
  • A significant number of the individuals who play in the league or association are drafted by a major sports league or a minor league affiliate.

We Help Gather Documents

A P-1 visa application must include the following:

  • A written consultation with an appropriate labor organization
  • A copy of the contract with the sponsoring employer or agent
  • Participation in international competition with a national team
  • Participation in a prior season for a U.S. college or university

 

We will help gather the necessary documents…

We File the Petition

Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker will be filed with USCIS to get permission for the athlete to apply for the P-1 visa. The petition must be filed no more than 6 months before the scheduled performance and the appropriate fee must be paid. If the U.S. employer is petitioning for a team of athletes, they can file a group petition, instead of individual petitions for each member.

 

We will file the petition on your behalf…

Getting the Visa

Once the petition is approved, you must apply for the actual visa at an American Embassy abroad, meaning you will need to depart the U.S. to obtain the visa. You should provide a copy of the Notice of Action, Form I-797, the approved notice forwarded to U.S. employer or agent by the USCIS when the petition is approved. You will also need to complete Form DS 160 to apply for the visa and schedule an interview.

​

WCAMG will help prepare athletes for the interview where necessary…
