We help competitive fighting-game players obtain U.S. work visas to compete on the American circuit, including EVO events. The discipline's biggest stage is built in the United States: an annual summer championship in Las Vegas that draws thousands of entrants across the marquee fighting-game titles, plus a year-round run of U.S. majors that feed the world rankings. The players who win it come from Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Europe and Latin America — and prize money makes it work, which makes it a visa question. Send us your record, and we map the category that fits before you book your flight.
START YOUR VISA CHECK BOOK A $500 CONSULTA U.S. sports-immigration practice — more than a decade of P-1, O-1 and EB-1A casework for world-class competitors.
Name, country, titles, rankings, the events you're targeting. Two minutes. Your inquiry goes straight to our legal team, and you get a written recap by email.
P-1A, O-1A or EB-1A — based on your record, not guesswork. The U.S. events on your calendar become the itinerary; a proper petitioner structure — a team, a sponsor, or an agent-petitioner — is set up so the filing stands on solid ground.
Petition filed and, when an event date is tight, premium processing gets USCIS to decide in weeks. Visa in hand — you enter, you compete, you collect your winnings. Legally.
U.S. immigration has treated professional gamers as athletes for more than a decade — the P-1A precedent in esports is real. It is also not automatic. What works FOR you — two decades of archived brackets and rankings, publisher-run pro tours with published standings, documented prize pools, and a championship culture old enough that the sport's record-keeping reads like any traditional sport's. What works AGAINST you — open-entry brackets raise the same questions officers ask about any open-entry sport: anyone can enter, so your file has to prove YOU are internationally recognized, not merely registered. A player with major top-8s, tour standings or national titles usually has a strong P-1A case. The O-1A demands sustained acclaim across multiple evidence categories, and the EB-1A green card is for the discipline's world-champion tier. If your record isn't there yet, we tell you that too — that's what the visa check is for.
For the player with a real record coming to run the U.S. circuit.
For the top of the discipline — when the record is deep enough to prove it.
The end game: the extraordinary-ability green card.
Proof, not promises — our practice in one paragraph.
More than a decade of P-1A, O-1A and EB-1A petitions for world-class competitors — champions, Olympic medalists and internationally ranked professionals across combat, arena and electronic sports among many others — with published casework on our main site.
A petition needs a U.S. petitioner. Most fighting-game players compete as independents — our agent-petitioner structure (through Aventus Visa Agents) is built for exactly that: independent professionals competing across many U.S. events on one itinerary.
We grade your record against the actual criteria before you commit. If P-1A fits now and O-1A needs another season of majors, that is exactly what you'll hear — in writing.
Free to submit. Our team reviews every inquiry personally and responds with next steps — usually within 1–2 business days. You'll get an instant email recap of what you sent.
