Visa options for Streamers and Content Creaters

Esports is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world with growing revenues, platforms, and personalities from all over the world. While actual game players receive much of the accolades and attention, there are a myriad of other esports related talent that make the esports successful as well. From graphic artists to game developers and from streamers to influencers, Sherrod Sports Visas offers O-1B visa processing to the world’s best esports professionals. 

The O-1B Extraordinary Ability visa is often the most appropriate and fastest immigration option for professionals in esports who have a creative flair to their occupation. The O-1 visa is often preferable to other visa categories such as H-1B and H-2B because the visa is not subject to a cap on the number of visas that can be issued and it can be done rather quickly. In fact, with premium processing added, an O-1 visa can be processed in under 15 calendar days. Our law firm has experienced O-1 visas being processed in 2 days in the past, even without premium processing. 

The O-1B visa is designed for foreign nationals who have “risen to the very top of their field” in the industries of the arts, research, business, and science; but there are many ways to exemplify the necessary status of achievement. O-1B visa petitions for esports professionals can involve proof of international awards, recognition from media outlets, earning high revenues, reviewing the acumen of peers in the industry, and more. 

Features of the O-1B Visa

  • Work authorization for three years that is extendable to 10 years

  • Flexibility of work authorization to work for several projects in several roles

  • Ability for spouse and children to obtain derivative visas

  • Potential transition to self-petition green card

O-1B Esports Services

Sherrod Sports Visas familiarity with esports analytics and stats tracking gives our firm a unique advantage to esports industry professionals. There are very few law firms in the United States that know how to document esports related popularity and prowess from a credible source and then carefully articulate each element of the O-1B qualifications to the United States. Our experience in the esports industry allows us to make sure we do not miss any helpful information in the intake process, retrieve much of the required information on our own, and get petitions to USCIS very quickly.
