Can I mention awards I received at school 15 years ago?

The EB-1 visa is intended for individuals with extraordinary abilities, requiring documents that prove relevant and consistent achievements throughout the professional career.

Old school awards can be considered, but they generally carry less weight in the context of the EB-1, which focuses on national or international recognition and impact in the field of activity.

If the school awards fit into a continuous history of accomplishments and leadership, they may add value, but it is essential to highlight recent and significant achievements.

The analysis must be strategic and integrated, including other evidence such as publications, conferences, and recommendations.

It is fundamental to comply with U.S. immigration laws and to consult reliable sources to avoid unfounded promises.
