Can I submit screenshots of online articles in the EB-1?

Yes, you can use screenshots of online articles as part of your evidence package for the EB-1. The issue is not the format itself, but rather demonstrating that the material is authentic and verifiable.

A standalone screenshot raises questions. It needs to make clear where it came from and when, so that the officer can confirm the source. Whenever the source offers an official version, it tends to be more convincing than a screen image alone.

• Make sure the screenshot shows the date, the URL, and the publication outlet.
• Prefer the official or verifiable version when it is available.
• Preserve the link and context so the material can be checked.

The goal is to remove any doubt about authenticity. It is worth checking the latest guidance from USCIS or consulting a specialist on how to present this type of evidence.
