Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Mateusz Rebecki granted P-1A visa

Sherrod Sports Visas continues to help internationally recognized athletes in obtaining their P-1A visa. Just recently, it represented the world class martial artist Mateusz Rebecki in his I-129 Petition for P-1 Classification. 

Who is eligible for the P-1A visa?

The following are eligible for the P-1A visa:

1. Internationally Recognized Individual Athletes;

2. Internationally Recognized Athletic Teams;

3. Professional Athletes;

4. Amateur Athletes or Coaches; and

5. Theatrical Ice Skaters

For internationally recognized individual athletes, like Mr. Mateusz Rębecki, you must be coming to the United States to participate in a specific athletic competition in a sport in which you are internationally recognized. You are internationally recognized if you have a high level of achievement in a sport, demonstrated by a degree of skill and recognition substantially above that ordinarily encountered. Your achievement must be renowned, leading, or well-known in more than one country. The competition(s) you wish to participate in must have a distinguished reputation and be at an internationally recognized level of performance such that it requires the participation of an internationally recognized athlete.

In Mr. In Rebecki's petition, ample evidence was shown that he is an internationally recognized athlete such as his impressive international and regional rankings in Tapology. He is currently ranked 117th Best MMA Lightweight Fighter.
