Can they deny my case suspecting my title is ‘fake’?

Yes, they can. The EB-1 relies on evidence that proves the authenticity of your role and your achievements, so if the review raises doubts about the truthfulness of a position or its description, it can weaken your case and lead to a denial. The issue is not the job title itself, but the consistency between what you claim and what your documents support.

The risk grows when the supporting material is thin or contradictory. To strengthen your case, aim for coherence across all pieces:

• Job descriptions that align with contracts, pay stubs, and organizational charts.
• Letters that confirm, with concrete examples, what you actually did.
• External records (press coverage, awards, publications) that corroborate your role.

The more your evidence reinforces itself, the less room there is for suspicion that the position was merely nominal. Inconsistencies, gaps, or unsupported claims are what typically invite scrutiny. Since each case is evaluated individually, verify the current requirements with USCIS and review your documentation with a specialist before filing.
