For EB-1A, I have 2 different interviews under ‘material published about you’: do they count as 2 pieces of evidence?

In the EB-1A, the material published about you criterion relies on coverage about you (articles, interviews, reports) published by independent and credible sources. To answer directly: two different interviews can indeed be presented as two separate pieces of evidence, as long as each one comes from an independent and reputable outlet.

That said, the count is not the deciding factor. The examiner looks above all at the quality and context of each piece. Coverage tends to weigh in your favor when it:

• Comes from a reputable outlet that is independent of you.
• Specifically discusses your work and achievements.
• Includes information that confirms your recognition in the field.

In short, two sources add more than one, but two weak pieces carry less weight than a single strong, well-contextualized one. Since every case is evaluated individually, it is worth checking the updated requirements with USCIS and reviewing your evidence with a specialist.
