Can I submit videos of workshops I organized?

Yes. Videos of workshops you organized can be included in an EB-1 petition as supporting evidence, provided they concretely illustrate your leadership role and the relevance of the event in your field. On their own they rarely decide a case, but they add weight when properly contextualized.

What gives this type of material its strength is not the video itself, but what it demonstrates. Footage showing your active role, the presence of recognized professionals, the event’s reach, or its real impact on your field helps build the narrative of distinction that this category requires.

• Explain the context: what the event was, your role, and the results achieved.
• Add credibility details such as venue, audience size, and reach.
• Pair the video with other evidence that reinforces the same merit from different angles.

Because every case has its own particulars and the weight of each piece of evidence varies, it is worth organizing your materials carefully and verifying the current criteria on the official USCIS website or with a specialist before filing.
