Although USCIS had recently changed their guidelines in adjudicating O-1 visa applications, making it increasingly difficult for professional athletes to come to the United States in O-1 status, attorney Noaman secured an O-1 visa for our client, a professional karate athlete who currently trains in Irving, Texas. Attorney Noaman was able to prove that our client qualified for the O-1 as he had secured multiple Gold Medals at national and international competitions in India and internationally. He is a 5th Degree Dan Black Belt in Karate and has won several national karate competitions, as well as several Gold Medals in India. Our client could now train to compete for a Gold Medal at the USA National Karate Championships, as well as in international competitions throughout the world.
