About Our Sports & Entertainment Service

Experience in the essential aspects of immigration law and critical aspects of professional sports including issues related to collective bargaining agreements and rules governing specific sports.

In the professional sports arena, immigration programs can be divided into three principal beneficiary groups:

• Professional athletes
• Essential support personnel and 
• Related business professionals
  

For professional athletes, we handle P-1 petitions and O-1 petitions and applications for permanent residence including Extraordinary Ability petitions.

For essential support personnel, including coaches, we handle P-1S and O-1 petitions and permanent residence applications including Extraordinary Ability petitions and PERM.

For related professional sports professionals ranging from referees to scouts to media and event experts, we prepare and file nonimmigrant visa petitions as well as permanent residence applications.
