Can I submit Spotify stats as a musician in an EB-1 petition?

Yes. As a musician, you can include Spotify statistics in an EB-1 petition to illustrate the reach of your career. Streaming counts, engagement metrics, and presence across different markets help demonstrate that your work has real resonance.

The key is not to treat those figures as definitive proof on their own. Streaming metrics carry more weight when contextualized and combined with other evidence that confirms your recognition in the music industry, forming a cohesive picture of extraordinary ability.

• Awards, nominations, and industry recognition.
• Press coverage and reviews in relevant outlets.
• Collaborations with established artists and invitations to notable events.
• Testimonials from experts or authorities in the field.

Present the numbers in an organized way, explaining what they mean within your career narrative. Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth reviewing the current criteria from USCIS and assembling your documentation with a qualified professional.
