O-1 Extraordinary Ability

The O-1 category is available for foreign nationals with extraordinary ability in the arts, sciences, athletics, education, or business, and enables the individual to work in the U.S. in their field. As specialists within the equestrian field, our firm has been particularly successful in obtaining O visas for professional Polo Players, Show Riders, Jockeys, Farriers and Mallet and Saddle Makers.

P-1 Athletes

The P classification is designed for foreign athletes, artists, and entertainers to enter the U.S. to work/participate in their field of specialization. As a firm focusing on the equestrian sports industry, we have been successfully obtaining P-1 visas for many years for a wide range of sports professionals ranging from developing athletes through Olympic level competitors.

Essential Support Personnel

These classifications are designed to enable the P-1 or O-1 Principal’s support personnel to enter the U.S. to provide essential and critical support services on behalf of the Principal. These cases are usually filed in conjunction with the P-1/O-1 petition for the athlete, and our firm is able to utilize our in-depth knowledge of the different equestrian disciplines to ensure that the P-1/O-1 Jockeys, Riders and Professional Polo Players have the essential support personnel they require in order to compete successfully.
