P-1 visa win in a complicated case
Our Sports & Extraordinary Ability practice got off to a great start in 2019, with a P-1 approval for Canadian Tremaine Harris. Harris, a 400-meter Olympic sprinter, uses his P-1 to train with the world-renowned Altis group in Phoenix, AZ and compete in the US.
This case was complicated by a brief, inadvertent status violation by the athlete. Attorney Ksenia Maiorova crafted a legal strategy to overcome the violation and worked overtime to secure the approval, enabling the athlete to resume training in Arizona as soon as possible.
Athlete boasts about his client experience
Harris, who delivered the keynote speech at the nation’s first Sports Immigration Law Conference, shared his immigration story with an audience of nearly 100 immigration lawyers. He also shared his impressions about working with Attorney Ksenia Maiorova on his sports visa case. He cited the ease of communication and the positive outcome in his complicated case the best aspects of his client experience.
“The best part about it was that she kept me up to date. It was easy to contact her, and I always felt like I was involved in the process…I’ve been sending her referrals nonstop!”
