The P-1S visa is a nonimmigrant visa for essential support personnel who accompany a P-1A visa holder, whether an individual athlete or an internationally recognized esports team. In esports, this often includes coaches, analysts, managers, producers, and other staff members whose services are vital to the team’s success during competitions and events in the U.S.

• Coaches, managers, or analysts supporting a P-1A esports team
• Technical or broadcast staff working alongside a P-1A athlete or group
• Longstanding team members integral to performance operations
• Immigration attorneys filing P-1S petitions for esports support staff

ESTA’s peer advisory letter confirms your essential role in supporting a P-1A beneficiary by reviewing:

• Your working relationship with the athlete or team
• Your contributions to the team’s performance and success
• Your involvement in upcoming U.S. tournaments or appearances
• Why your role is essential and cannot be easily replaced

Each letter is customized to your case and signed by ESTA leadership, a trusted authority in the esports industry.
