I appeared in 2 major TEDx talks, with 1 million views on YouTube. Does that help?

The EB-1 visa is intended for those who demonstrate extraordinary ability in their fields, and the proof of these abilities is usually based on a series of internationally recognized evidences. Participating in two TEDx talks-especially if that channel has a wide reach, such as 1 million views on YouTube-can be a positive factor, as it demonstrates recognition and visibility.

However, it is important to remember that this initiative is only part of the body of evidence that USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) typically analyzes. Participation in renowned events can help support the argument of professional impact and merit, but success in an EB-1 case depends on a more comprehensive evaluation that includes awards, publications, original contributions to the field, and recognition by experts.

The fact that you have participated in TEDx talks is a valuable indicator that your work has reached a significant audience; nevertheless, it is advisable to gather other evidence that reinforces your position as a candidate with extraordinary ability. It is also important to strictly follow all U.S. immigration laws and seek the help of specialized professionals for personalized guidance.

This way, you can build a well-founded case and minimize the risks of falling victim to scams or unfounded marketing promises. Each case is unique, and a detailed analysis of all your achievements is essential to define the best strategy in the immigration process.
