Traditional Paths and Innovative Paths to Immigration Visas For International Student Athletes

  This is Courtside Counsel Law Firm and thank you for tuning in. We are joined here today with Jill McBride Baxter, and McGeorge School of Law Students, Jade Smith, Makyla DaPonte, Gara Miner, and Mayra Vega. Today we will discuss F1, P1, and O1 visas. F1 visas apply to international high school and college athletes, P1 visas apply to international recognized athletes or teams including but not limited to the: NFL and NBA, and O1 visas apply to Professional and Olympic Athletes. For each of the topics we will discuss: 1. What we found out in researching this topic and what was overall was most interesting. 2. When an F1, P1, or an O1 visa apply. 3. And we would provide some real world examples.
