Can I cite the co-creation of an online teaching method used by 50 schools?

Yes, the co-creation of an online teaching method adopted by schools can be cited as evidence in the EB-1, especially if you can demonstrate the relevance and impact of that innovation in the education sector. A solution effectively used in the classroom helps show a concrete contribution in your field.

To give weight to this type of contribution, the ideal approach is to document not only authorship, but also the reach and the results, for example:

• Evidence of adoption of the method by the institutions that use it.
• Letters from experts or educators attesting to its impact.
• Publications, awards, or coverage that recognize the innovation.

As with all EB-1 analysis, this achievement tends to carry more weight as part of a coherent body of evidence than on its own. How it fits the criteria depends on the overall assessment of your profile.

For that reason, it is worth checking the updated requirements with the USCIS and organizing your evidence with the support of a specialist before filing.
