O-1A Obtained for Canelo Alvarez, Mexican Professional Boxer


Oakhurst Legal Group: Providing Guidance in O and P Visa Matters


We are excited to announce another successful O-1A visa petition through our petitioner service SDS Sports Agency.

Through this petition, we helped Canelo Alvarez, a world-renowned Mexican boxer, obtain the visa he needed to compete at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas on December 19th. Canelo secured a unanimous victory and became the undisputed world champion in a third weight division. By winning against previously unbeaten Callum Smith, Canelo secured the  WBA, WBC, and The Ring magazine super-middleweight titles.


What is an O-1 Visa For?


The O-1A visa is reserved for individuals with extraordinary, internationally recognized abilities in the sciences, education, business, or athletics. This visa is difficult to obtain because of the volume of evidence required to demonstrate such extraordinary talents.


The result, however, is a flexible form of temporary status that allows you to:

  • Bring your family members and assistants with you to the United States
  • Travel freely in and out of the U.S.
  • Extend the visa an unlimited number of times
  • Adjust your status to lawful permanent residence, if desired.


We are proud to have used our years of experience and wealth of legal knowledge to help Canelo Alvarez expand his legacy and reach new heights.
