Reply To: Query Regarding Consultation Letters for P-1A Renewals

[OandPVisas]

Yes — USCIS still expects every P-1A petition —including extensions or repeat filings —to be supported by a written “consultation” (advisory-opinion) letter from the relevant U.S. labor/peer/governing body. Ongoing membership or notoriety is excellent evidence of the athlete’s continued international recognition, but it does not replace the consultation-letter requirement.
