To demonstrate that you reviewed 20 articles in 2 years in an EB-1 petition, the key is reconstructing the documentary trail for each review. What persuades is not simply claiming the volume, but showing through documents that the activity took place and was recognized by the community.

Gather the formal records of each assignment and organize everything clearly. The more consistent and verifiable the body of evidence, the stronger your case as a peer reviewer.

  • Official invitations and confirmation emails for each reviewer assignment.
  • Certificates or statements issued by the journals, and editorial system screenshots showing dates and article titles.
  • Letters from editors attesting to the regularity and relevance of your work.

Make sure the documents are organized, translated when necessary, and accompanied by an explanation of your role. It is worth checking the current requirements with USCIS and reviewing your documentation with a specialist.
