The hockey expert for “” commented on the information that the striker “Minnesota” Kirill Kaprizova there were problems with his work visa and he was unable to return to the United States.
“Those are questions for the agent,” said a hockey expert who works with Russian players in the NHL, but not with Kaprizov, and therefore does not give his name. “It’s just that the agent was negligent. But the agent must take care of business as daily as, in particular, obtaining a visa for his client.
And then the client left, and the agent didn’t even look that his work visa had expired. In general, if you have an NHL contract, but your visa has expired, you can travel to the United States-Canada-Mexico triangle with Form I797. But if you are out – for example, at home in Russia – you will not be allowed to return. There you already fill in the P1 form. This means that a work visa must be issued again, and now is the time.
The fact that Kaprizov went to get a visa first in Dubai, then in the Caribbean islands is a normal process. Now all Russians who need them apply for US visas through other countries. And why Kirill was refused twice – most likely, he did it urgently and did not collect all the documents. Or he applied for an urgent visa, but was refused. But I repeat, this shouldn’t be a headache for a player, but for an agent who receives very solid money under the contract of one of the NHL’s main stars.
Recall that Kaprizov’s interests are represented by US agent Paul Theofanos.
