Can I cite my profits from digital art sales (NFTs)?

Yes, you can cite profits from digital art sales, including NFTs, in an EB-1 petition. The key is that these figures form part of a broader body of evidence rather than standing alone as the sole argument.

The category’s criteria value not just financial results but the full picture of achievements that demonstrate an exceptional career. For NFT earnings to carry weight, they should reflect your standing in the digital art world, supported by elements such as:

• Awards, exhibitions, and publications about your work.
• Expert evaluations or coverage in specialized press.
• Sales records, contracts, and statements documenting the source of the funds.

This gives adjudicators a clear view of how your work impacts the digital art market. Each case is unique, so it is worth checking the current criteria on the USCIS website and structuring your documentation with the help of a specialist.
