Jessica Andrade Receives Entry into the United States After Visa Issue in Abu Dhabi

We are proud to welcome Jessica Andrade back into the United States to prepare for and participate in her upcoming bout. Jessica is a former UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion and is one of the top-ranked fighters in the world.

Previously, Jessica Andrade got her visa revoked after attempting to enter the United States following a fight in Abu Dhabi. Fortunately, the accusations against her were false and she was found of no wrongdoing. Despite additional strict COVID restrictions, our team overcame this misunderstanding and swiftly obtained visa appointments from Jessica’s consulate in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We had her passports stamped with the National Interest Exemption, which allows for travel to the United States.

Jessica Andrade is scheduled to compete on April 24 for an upcoming UFC title fight. The bout will take place out of Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be nationally broadcast on ESPN. Jessica is a world-class fighter with millions of fans, so securing entry for international travel was critical. 

The promoter and petitioner for these events is the Ultimate Fighting Championships, the world’s premier MMA sports organization. We wish Jessica Andrade the best of luck and great success in her upcoming bout.
