Can I cite an online gallery exhibition curated by Apple as evidence for the EB-1?

Yes, an online gallery exhibition curated by Apple can be cited as evidence for the EB-1, as long as you demonstrate that this participation represented a meaningful milestone of recognition in your career. Curation by a major brand carries weight, but the value comes from showing the reach and impact of that recognition.

In the EB-1, exhibitions and recognitions form part of the body of evidence used to demonstrate extraordinary ability in your field. No single event guarantees approval; what matters is how each piece fits into the overall picture.

• Preserve invitations, selection notices, and any official records of the curation.
• Gather reviews, publications, and mentions that discuss the exhibition.
• Show why this participation signals reach beyond a local or regional level.

When thoroughly documented, this exhibition strengthens your portfolio, even though it alone cannot sustain a petition. Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth reviewing the updated criteria on the USCIS website and building your file with a specialist before filing.
