Can I mention an exhibition in an online gallery curated by Apple?

The EB-1 category aims to recognize extraordinary talents, and evidence of awards, exhibitions, and publications can be decisive in the analysis of a petition. Given this, it is natural to have doubts about which elements can be cited in the process, such as an exhibition in an online gallery curated by Apple.

In principle, if your online exhibition curated by Apple was duly recognized and you can prove that this participation represents a milestone in your career – that is, if it helped highlight your skill and international reach – it can indeed be mentioned as evidence in an EB-1 process. It is worth remembering that success in the EB-1 category depends on how each piece of the portfolio fits the criteria required by the United States immigration authorities, and there are no promises of approval based on a single event or recognition.

It is important to gather documentation that proves the relevance of this exhibition, such as invitations, reviews, publications, and other evidence demonstrating the impact and importance of the event in the artistic or professional world. Additionally, it is always essential that the documentation complies with the standards required by immigration authorities, evidencing the authenticity and relevance of the recognition.

I emphasize the importance of strictly following United States immigration laws. Seeking guidance from official sources or from specialized companies and professionals – with due caution to avoid misleading information, scams, or unrealistic promises of results – can be very helpful in preparing a consistent and well-founded petition.

Each case has its particularities and, therefore, gathering all elements that can strengthen your petition is essential. When compiling your dossier, given the complexity and rigor of this type of petition, it is highly recommended to have clarity about the requirements and maintain the integrity and truthfulness of all the information presented.
