What Does It Mean To Be An O-1 Or P-1 Petitioner?

Every P-1 or O-1 visa petitioner requires an actual petitioner, also known as a sponsor. This person or entity signs the paperwork with an I-129 P or I-129 O petition. However, the petitioner is often different from the entity or entities paying the visa applicant. The petitioner agrees to receive service of process on behalf of the visa applicant. Our Florida lawyers at Gill Law Firm can help you navigate this process.

What Information is Required of the Petitioner?

Certain information is mandatory for the petitioner to release in order for USCIS to process the I-129 P or I-129 O Petition. The required information includes:

  • Contact Name

  • Contact Email

  • Mobile or Day Time Phone Number

  • Contact Address or Business Address

  • Social Security Number or Business Employer Identification Number

​

It is also helpful for businesses to submit a copy of their secretary of state filing. For petitioners applying as US citizens or permanent residents, submitting a copy of a birth certificate and passport copy is beneficial. 

​

The petitioner is not required to submit taxation paperwork, revenue statistics, or other information. Furthermore, the petitioner can have experience in the industry in which the applicant will be participating.
