Can I submit client testimonial letters for the EB-1?

Yes, client testimonial letters can be included as supporting evidence in an EB-1 petition. They do not replace the core proof of recognition in your field, but they help illustrate the impact and reputation of your work when they provide concrete information.

The EB-1 is designed for professionals who demonstrate extraordinary ability, and the overall body of evidence must be robust and consistent. For a client letter to carry weight, it should go beyond generic praise and detail what you delivered and why it stands out.

• Describe the specific contribution and the result it generated for the client.
• Highlight the relevance of the work and what sets it apart in your industry.
• Favor testimonials from recognized individuals or organizations that lend credibility to the account.

Present these letters in an organized manner, integrated with the rest of your evidence portfolio. Because each case is evaluated individually by USCIS, it is worth reviewing the current criteria and aligning your evidence strategy with a specialist before filing.
