Multi-Year P-1 Visa Approval for Olympic Sprinter Maya Bruney

At Sherrod Sports Visas, we are committed to helping world-class athletes compete in the 2028 Olympics, which is taking place in Los Angeles, USA. One of our most recent success stories, we got a multi-year P-1 visa for Maya Bruney, an internationally recognized sprinter, with the assistance of Innovative Global Talent Agency (IGTA) as the petitioner. This success reflects our dedication to supporting Olympic-level sports federations and athletes, ensuring they can participate in elite U.S. competitions and promotional opportunities.

Partnering with Olympic-Level Athletes: Maya Bruney's Journey

Maya Bruney, an accomplished athlete, has earned a series of accolades, including medals at the European Under-20 Championships. However, to continue her ascent in the international track scene, Maya required a P-1 visa to compete in U.S.-based events. Our role was to provide comprehensive immigration support, preparing her petition in collaboration with IGTA, which handled the complex role of being her visa petitioner. Together, we successfully secured a multi-year P-1 visa, allowing Maya to participate in numerous U.S. track and field events, such as the World Athletics Indoor Championships, and other global sporting tournaments, such as the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

How Sherrod Sports Visas and IGTA Ensured Success
