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

Securing a P-1 visa for athletes like Maya involves extensive documentation and strategic planning. Here’s how Sherrod Sports Visas facilitated Maya’s successful petition:

1. Comprehensive Athlete Profile: We gathered and submitted detailed evidence of Maya's international accomplishments, including her gold medal at the European Under-20 Championships and global rankings. This was crucial for demonstrating her extraordinary ability, a key requirement for P-1 visa approval.

2. Customized Itinerary for Competitions: Maya’s visa application included a clear itinerary of her upcoming competitions and training programs in the U.S., highlighting her need for long-term visa validity to ensure seamless participation in these events. We planned for engagements that spanned multiple years, ensuring her eligibility for a multi-year visa.

3. IGTA's Expert Petitioner Services: By partnering with Innovative Global Talent Agency (IGTA), we streamlined the visa petition process. IGTA specializes in acting as petitioners for athletes and professionals needing P-1 and O-1 visas, handling the logistical and legal responsibilities of the visa application process.

4. Holistic Approach: Both Sherrod Sports Visas and IGTA ensured that Maya’s P-1 petition was not only legally compliant but also aligned with her career trajectory. We provided support beyond visa approval, advising her on long-term U.S. opportunities that extend her career development beyond just competition.
