YOUR VISA, READY
BEFORE THE FIGHT.

Fight offers don't wait for paperwork. We get international fighters U.S. work visas — P-1A, O-1A, and for the biggest records the EB-1A green card — so when the call comes from a matchmaker, you can say yes. World champions, Olympic medalists and rising contenders across boxing, MMA, kickboxing and bare-knuckle have walked to U.S. rings and cages on petitions we built.

WHAT WE DO FOR FIGHTERS

P-1A — INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ATHLETE

The workhorse fight visa: your record and rankings prove recognition, and your U.S. fight schedule becomes the itinerary. The realistic first category for most ranked fighters.

O-1A — EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY

For champions and elite records: fight, coach, appear and build a U.S. career across engagements. A higher bar than P-1A — and we tell you honestly which one fits.

EB-1A — THE GREEN CARD

Permanent residence, self-petitioned — no promoter or employer needed. The end game for world-championship-level records, family included.

TRAVEL WAIVERS & EMERGENCIES

COVID-era travel waivers that kept world-title fights on schedule — including for Top Rank cards — plus emergency consular appointments when a fight date is close.

PREMIUM PROCESSING

When the calendar is tight, premium processing gets USCIS to decide in weeks, not months — so a short-notice fight offer stays a real offer.

SUPPORT STAFF TOO

P-1S and O-2 visas for the corner — coaches, cutmen and camp staff — because a fighter doesn't walk alone.
