Am I a player from a Polish team, but will play in the USA, is the sponsor the American club?

The P visa is intended for athletes and team members who come to the United States to participate in sporting events or activities related to their field. It allows players and other sports professionals to work temporarily in the country, provided they meet the specific requirements of this visa type.

In your case, although you are a player from a Polish team, if you are being hired or invited to play for an American club during a season or sporting event, the U.S. club will be considered the sponsor of your visa. This means that the entity that must file the petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and prove your eligibility is the American club, which will act as responsible for your arrival and compliance with the terms of your stay.

It is important to remember that for visa processes, the sponsor must strictly follow U.S. immigration laws, submitting the necessary documentation and respecting the established deadlines and criteria. If you have doubts or need further clarifications about the requirements, it is recommended to seek reliable and specialized information, avoiding any offer or marketing campaign that promises guaranteed results.

Following the correct procedures is essential not only for your legal security but also to ensure that your experience in the U.S. occurs without complications. If you have other questions about the P visa process or next steps, always consult official sources or qualified professionals in the immigration field.
