O-1 and P-1 visa for professional boxers around the world

P & O Visas for Professional Boxers from Around the World

Over the last few years, Sherrod Sports Visas has become one of the United States’ premier resources for national team countries, foreign promotions, domestic promotions, and individual athletes to service visa applications for boxers. If you are a boxer, you can expect that our team can help educate you about the process, help you write support letters, give our honest opinion, and state your credentials to the USCIS. In 2020, we helped several current and future world champions obtain entry to the United States to compete in events that promoters advertise all over the world.

Trusted Immigration Lawyers for Boxers and Promotions

Choosing the correct visa for a boxer is very important to maintain compliance with the USCIS. Typically, P-1 visas are only appropriate for competitions and do not support training or media performances for endorsements. Either these situations have to be carefully explained to the USCIS or the boxer should apply for the O-1 visa that has much more work authorization flexibility.
