I have 2 awards and 1 mention in Time Magazine. Does that satisfy 3 criteria?

Having awards and a mention in Time Magazine helps, but the EB-1 requires a strong, qualified set of evidence to prove extraordinary ability.

The EB-1 visa is intended for professionals who demonstrate extraordinary ability through evidence with national or international recognition. To qualify, it is necessary to meet at least three criteria established by USCIS, considering the weight and relevance of each piece of evidence.

In your case, the two awards and the mention in Time Magazine may be relevant, provided they are associated with rigorous recognitions and credible media.

However, it is not enough to simply add up items; the overall evidence must solidly demonstrate your outstanding position. The evaluation is detailed and individual, and it is crucial to consult reliable sources and qualified professionals to ensure compliance and increase your chances of success.
