Determining Eligibility for P-1 Visas of Poker Players
A Poker Player’s international recognition can usually be ascertained by his winnings reported by the major international bodies. Mr. Ye Yuan holds impressive rankings in Global Poker Index and Hendon Mob Poker. In the P-1A petition we also presented the profile and records listed in the WSOP (World Series of Poker) database.
The Global Poker Index (GPI) is a leaderboard index that ranks over 450,000 live tournament poker players in the world. The GPI poker rankings are updated on a weekly basis. Players’ performances are assessed by their finishing positions in poker tournaments occurring over six periods of six months (3 years).
Hendon Mob Poker is the most comprehensive database of poker players, venues, festivals, events and results to be found anywhere on the Net. It is kept constantly up to date with the latest results as they arrive. The Hendon Mob website includes the biggest poker player database worldwide, that collects the results of every poker tournament in the world since 2000, indexed by location, date, and player. The origin of the information contained in the database was queried in a court action brought by rival website Pokerpages.com, and information sourced from Pokerpages.com has since been removed from the database. In July 2013 the Mob's website was acquired by the Global poker index.
Mr. Ye Yuan was ranked #2,312 in the World and 4th Nationally in the world in the Global Poker Index at the time of filing.
